But in exchanging houses, they also unwittingly take on aspects of each other's vastly different lives - not always without new conflict. A chance phone call from grief-stricken Marilyn in New England provides both women with a welcome refuge from their shattered lives.
But her posh Dublin address loses much of its charm when Danny leaves her for his young, pregnant girlfriend. Ria and her husband, Danny, live in a magnificent old house they have restored together.
