The news of her husband's infidelity comes as a nasty shock to Jenny Reynolds, part-time building control officer and full-time mother—even though, to her surprise and embarrassment, her first reaction is relief, not anguish. What really hurts is her children's unhappiness at the break-up, and the growing realisation that, alone, she may lose the family farm.

Sometimes, you have to revisit your past to find your future. Laura—in her late 30s and single since her long-standing relationship with Doug broke up after he told her he didn't want children—finds herself back in his family's life, after a chance visit to his parents sees them in crisis and in need of her help.

On the outskirts of a small seaside town, Lia and her friend Anna work serious hours running their restored cafe. The summer season is upon them, they have Anna's wedding to plan, and Lia's ex-boyfriend seems not to understand it's over. When a gorgeous stranger taps on Lia's window near midnight and turns out not to be a serial killer, she feels it's a promising sign. But no one comes without a past, and his arrives in the form of a four-year-old son. Just as Lia decides to give things a try, problems from her own past rear up.
