Tom Knight is now a 73-year-old private detective in a seaside
town, with a bad leg, a taste for good weed and a morbid fear of
growing old. He's also fallen in love with Fran, a sprightly

dumped him for lying about his age. So when she's framed for the
murder of three old ladies at the home he resolves to win her back
by proving her innocence. His quest takes him behind the town's
veil of respectability... He even faces up to his fear of old age
and dementia, by going undercover at the care home where the
murders happened. But will it be enough to win back the lady of his
dreams? Proving that you're just as young as you feel, the Tom
