Bronte McKnight is summoned to a hillside village in the wild and beautiful Mani region of Greece by her expat father Angus. She must help him solve a family mystery from the Second World War when his father disappeared in Greece during the disastrous Battle of Kalamata known as 'the Greek Dunkirk'. With the country gripped by economic crisis and the clock ticking against them their near-impossible quest takes them from Kalamata to a remote mountain village where its inhabitants are bound by old traditions and secrecy. As tensions rise the pair are helped in their search by charismatic doctor Leonidas Papachristou. He has a pivotal role not least in challenging Bronte's assumption that she hasn't the time or the courage to fall in love in Greece.
