Sisters Bel and Marie are poles apart. Whilst Marie is a free spirit who spurns alcohol casual sex and material possessions Bel needs all of those things just to make it through to lunchtime. When their mother dies suddenly leaving them a rundown house on the Norfolk coast they are unexpectedly thrown together. Because there's a condition: before they can inherit it they have to live in it for one year - together. Marie invites some old friends to Orchard House to form a working party and Bel is drawn to the devastatingly handsome yet silent and brooding Nick. The only problem is they want entirely different things . . . Could it be time to leave the past behind and embrace the future? And in doing so will the sisters finally find their way back to each other?
