Just Breathe is the story of stressful lives and new beginnings, with a delicious mash up of mystery, drama and romance, set in the gorgeous  Northumberland scenery.
 
Charlotte is a young lawyer living in London with the world at her feet. She has a luxury flat, a sports car and plenty of money, yet she is unhappy. The job that she used to love is now giving her panic attacks. On the advice of her doctor, she takes some time off work to de-stress and rents a holiday cottage in the beautiful coastal village of Warkworth. But will the lack of wi-fi and London conveniences cause her even more stress? 
 
Linda, a resident of Warkworth, is a middle aged woman who has never had a career, never travelled out of the country and lives under the control of her violent and abusive husband. When her husband goes missing, an over-zealous policeman begins to suspect that she is hiding something and is determined to arrest her for his murder.
 
As Linda struggles to convince him of her innocence, the two women cross paths and help each other in a way that neither of them would have imagined. Although their characters could not be more different, they forge an unlikely friendship, despite the 20 year age gap.
