Rebecca is a young woman who was raised by a single mother. Her mother lived a Bohemian lifestyle with frequent changes of boyfriends and addresses so Rebecca never grew up with roots. She never knew of any other family or relatives. She is working in a bookstore in London when she is summoned to ibiza, where her mother has been diagnosed with leukemia. Rebecca had not seen her mother in 2 years. Her mother finally shares family information with Rebecca, telling her her grandfather is a famous artist living in Cornwall. That night her mother dies. Rebecca feels pulled to Cornwall, she wants to meet her grandfather. She finds her grandfather is thrilled to see her, and has a grandson and daughter-in-law living with him. He also has opened his home to a young man who restores old furniture and antiques. A lot of stress develops between all the major characters. Who really loves the old artist, and who loves the possibility of inheriting his money and home? It isn't always the way it seems.
