Two individuals, trapped in their distinct worlds, one by wealth and the other by poverty. Twenty years of dedicated service to The Firm have fulfilled Marcus Barlow's desires, but at the cost of his soul. The relentless pursuit of escaping the clutches of The Firm has become an all-consuming obsession.

Claire Halfords' life reaches a low point when she is caught stealing food from Tesco Express. Left alone by her husband, responsible for two young children, and grappling with an STI, the weight of despair begins to crush her. The echoes of her suicide music grow louder in her head, threatening to consume her.

In a chance encounter, their paths cross. As a mysterious virus from China spreads rapidly across the country, their worlds collide, revealing unexpected connections between them.

Set in the early months of 2020, "Maybe It's About Time" is a captivating story that delves into the challenges of transforming lives for the better. Initially portraying a humorous and satirical portrayal of the self-centered world of professional services, it gradually evolves into a heartwarming tale of an unlikely friendship that rejuvenates Marcus and Claire, instilling hope for a brighter future.
