A heart-warming, humorous story of starting over, family ties and unlikely friendships.
When Dawn and Douglas are sacked within months of each other they worry they are past their best before dates. They hatch a plan to run art holidays and move to ramshackle Last Chance Mill in rural Devon. If they’re not ready for guests by the summer they’ll go bust but things keep going wrong. Their neighbour is secretly doing her best to scupper their venture. As the impossible deadline approaches, their kids return from uni to help but family tensions surface and soon all hell breaks loose.
Can they put their grievances behind them, pull together and have the mill ready in time for their first guests?
