VINGESKUDT er en morsom, hjerteskærende og smuk historie, om hvad der sker, når en kvinde modvilligt træder ind i sit livs efterår. Vanessa Wonderman er en smuk forhenværende skuespillerinde i tresserne, der balancerer mellem sine døende forældre, sin ældende mand og sin højtelskede, gravide datter. Selvom Vanessa opfatter sig selv som en lykkeligt gift kvinde, får fraværet af et aktivt sexliv hende til at føle, at hun mister noget, der er for værdifuldt til at ignorere. Derfor indrykker hun en sex-annonce på en hjemmeside, og det liv hun kender begynder at krakelere. Med hjælp og rådgivning fra sin bedste veninde, Isadora Wing, navigerer hun omkring i denne nye og ukendte verden, og hun begynder at spørge sig selv om det hun leder efter måske slet ikke er så langt væk.

Ditching her second husband during a work conference in Vienna she decides to cut and run, criss-crossing her way across Europe in search of the perfect no-strings-attached tryst - and she won't let a little thing like a fear of flying get in her way.
