A Little About Swimming Upstream:

Lizzie has everything she thought she’d ever want, but one day she realizes that she’s far from happy. When she steps into the path of a passing car, her life begins to unravel, setting off a chain of events that prove to be life-changing. She leaves her boyfriend and relocates to London to pursue her career and reconnect with old friends. When secrets are slowly revealed, Lizzie’s life takes another shocking twist and the friendships are threatened.

Swimming Upstream is an endearing and sometimes comical tale about the punches life can throw. Set in 1990s Cambridge and London, it’s a story of friendship, love and loyalty – and the choices that Lizzie faces when the chips are down.
