- Barb has the perfect life, or so she's been told. Somewhere down the road, she's gained a husband, kids and a career, but lost her freedom and passion for life. In an attempt to recapture the innocence of her carefree days, Barb calls her high school pals Patti, Karen and Liz together for a weekend reunion. Loosening up with a few bottles of wine, each shares their secrets and dreams. But they soon discover that they share much more - burden, responsibility and a deep dissatisfaction for where their decisions have taken them. The best friends reach out to one another for collective wisdom and guidance. But, is it enough to save these four friends and set them back on their chosen paths? A Touch of Grey is a bittersweet comedy. A poignant, soul-searching journey that explores the question, can we have it all and still be truly happy?—Sandra Feldman and Charmaine Underwood-Graham
- Approaching or at middle age (depending on the viewpoint of the different characters), Barb is a successful textbook publisher in Toronto, a wife and a mother, she the glue - largely self-appointed - holding each of her professional and personal life together. Such responsibility is taking its toll on her, and following the latest fight with her lawyer husband Rob, she feels the need for a short break in the form of a twenty-four hour girls' respite in a Toronto hotel suite. The "girls" in question are her closest group of three friends from high school in Belle River: married Patti, who went to college with Barb but who decided to become a full-time housewife; married mother Karen, who was supposed to attend college with Barb and Patti, but who decided instead to get married, and who has recently decided to enter the workforce for the first time in her marriage in a minimum wage job at a garden center as her children have grown up; and divorced mother Liz, who in her single status has reentered the dating pool. While the main purpose of the get-together is to escape from life, Barb cannot help but open up about the pressures in her life when asked. Due to events, the other three eventually do open up more about the dirty secret or not so secret issues in their lives as the four friends try to assist each other and cope, not always successfully.—Huggo
