When Primrose makes an unplanned detour into a dilapidated suburban golf course called Whistles, she has no idea that the past would come rushing back at her, bringing every detail of her life into stark focus. At 36, her marriage is teetering due to illness and infidelity. A visit from her commanding brother-in-law looms ominously on the horizon. And by some twist of fate, Peter, the boy she loved twenty years ago, is now living across the street. Primrose cannot escape the increasing demands to make a choice, between her first love and her marriage, duty and desire, fear and freedom. Slowly, the grounds of Whistles, and a sport she proves terrible at, become her meditation and cure.
