Helena Nicholls - ex world-famous pop star and prime-time DJ - wakes up in hospital to find her looks, her career and her personal life in tatters. She has been let down by her boyfriend, and the one person she loved most in the world - her best friend since the age of five - is dead. She feels that she belongs nowhere, and her sense of identity, fragile at the best of times, is in pieces. So Helena turns to the one thing that has always got her through, the one thing that has real resonance: music. And she begins to concoct The Plan. Using the request format that made her radio show so popular, where listeners rang in with detailed stories about why certain songs were so meaningful for them, she sets out the story of her own life, chapter by chapter, track by track.

But the present is more of a problem as, while in hospital, she has remet an old friend to whom she is still hugely attracted. Her strict adherence to The Plan, however, means that time is not on her side. If she is to have a future at all, she must work out what it really means To Be Someone. With
Emma Victor's life takes a turn when her adoptive parents have a biological child, Stella. After a tragic car crash leaves 19-year-old Emma responsible for raising her younger sister, she sacrifices her youth for parental duties. A decade later, while Stella is thriving at 19, Emma feels stagnant, both in her career and love life, approaching 30 with a sense of despair. An unexpected encounter with a homeless man on the tube jolts her into action, prompting her to finally seek out her birth mother—something she has long avoided due to fear of the potential impact on Stella. The children's book "Are You My Mother?" resonates with Emma as she embarks on this quest, reflecting her own feelings of being lost. With the help of her friend Mack, she identifies five women with the same name, hoping one will lead her to her mother. However, Emma soon realizes that her journey is less about finding her mother and more about discovering her own identity. Having spent years fulfilling roles for others—daughter, girlfriend, sister, surrogate mother—she grapples with the question of who she truly is. As her search gains momentum, it begins to transform her life in unexpected ways.
