Flora Mackenzie is worried about her brother. Fintan hasn't got over the death of his partner Coltan and Flora thinks he needs a project. The Rock - the rambling disused hotel on the tip of the island - was Coltan's passion project before he died. With Flora's help Fintan is going to get the hotel up and running in time for Christmas. But running a hotel is not that easy. Especially when their motley staff includes a temperamental French chef a spoilt Norwegian kitchen boy who can't peel a potato without mutilating his own hand and a painfully shy kitchen assistant who blushes when anyone speaks to her. Can they pull it together in time for the big opening?
