In the opening episode, the up-and-coming writer returns to London from visiting her boyfriend in Italy and is greeted by a deluge of frantic messages from her literary agents.
With a matter of hours left to finish a draft of her second book, she plans to pull an all-nighter - but is soon tempted to join a friend for a night on the town.
