After two years working in New York, talented photographer Frankie (Ruta Gedmintas), 28, returns for her aunt’s funeral. It’s time to confront her family, herself and her relationship with her ex-love, Cat. Cat (Laura Fraser), 29, is an architect who finally plucked up the courage to re-enter the dating scene and meets a loyal, feisty and funny cop, Sam, 30. Their relationship blossoms – Sam offers Cat everything the wild, capricious Frankie couldn’t – but simmering below the surface for both Cat and Frankie is an enduring love and passion that can’t be ignored. Tess (Fiona Button) is an actress who is fast approaching 30 with no career, money or love life. Like Frankie and Cat, she wants to learn from the past and find happiness... but are they all destined to make the same mistakes again? Funny, irreverent and moving, Lip Service follows the interwoven love-lives of Frankie, Cat and Tess.
