Can love forgive everything?

Touchingly honest, Ask Me Again is a magnificent portrait of the daily intimacies of marriage and the power of forgiveness.

Francis Gleeson and Brian Stanhope, colleagues at the New York Police Department, live next door to each other in the suburbs. But what goes on between the walls of their homes - the loneliness of Francis's wife Lena and the mental instability of Brian's wife Ann, is like a ticking time bomb that will lead to tragic events that will change their lives. Despite the enmity of their parents, between the children of the two families - Kate Gleeson and Peter Stanhope - a long-lasting friendship blossoms into love. But one fateful night puts their relationship at an impossible crossroads, and the promises they made to each other will be tested again and again over the next thirty years.
