Frank is at the centre of two Junes. One June is his granddaughter; his everyday light and sunshine who seems troubled. The other is his dead wife, who seems to be appearing in visions again, this time to Father Cleary. He reaches out to help as best he can; but for one of them, there's nothing he can do. The Life and Soul trilogy follows three generations of a family in Airdrie, Scotland, as they experience both the ordinary and the extraordinary through love and loss.
