In rural France, Jane, a middle-aged woman with terminal cancer, seeks respite and space from her stale marriage. A chance to paint, swim, eat ripe figs fresh from the tree, find who she is and to earnestly, decide, whether-or-not to have more, treatment. One night a car crash brings the young Pierre into her life and changes everything. As her cancer spreads, Jane soon finds herself involved in a police investigation. Jane must assert herself, her needs, and squeeze every drop of life out of her days. How far will she go to protect someone she barely knows? How will her family cope? Is it ever too late to change? Poignant, exciting, and ultimately restorative, Patch Work deals courageously with major issues.
