Olivia, Maggie and Emm all have different reasons for finding themselves at Lorna's holiday cottages in Cornwall.
Em, a mum of two teenagers thinks this will be and ideal time for her children and her boyfriend George to all get to know each other better.
Maggie has a holiday of activities planned in the hopes of bringing her and her teenage daughter closer together.
Olivia, an exhausted mother of twin boys who has memories of growing up in the area,  takes an unplanned break to try and find a solution to the turmoil of her daily life.
All three have to meet challenges from their past in order to find resolutions and ways forward if they are to be content with their lives.
