Amid the sun-soaked hills of southern Italy lies the Romano family olive grove where Lara lives with her daughter Rose and her granddaughter Bea. Lara has spent a lifetime trying to forget the traumatic events that led to her escape from Dorset 70 years ago. But when she sees Bea being swept off her feet by Matteo Lara fears her granddaughter is in danger of making the same mistake as she did all those years ago. Remembering a promise she once made Lara asks Bea to travel to Dorset to restore her family's long-lost garden. Bea would love to find out more about the mystery of her beloved grandmother's past. But if she leaves Italy will Matteo wait for her? Meanwhile back in Italy an old flame from Rose's past reappears threatening to expose a secret that could tear the heart out of the Romano family for good.
