Summer has finally arrived on Ireland's west coast. On the Finfarran Peninsula, Hanna Casey is looking forward to al fresco lunches with friends and balmy evenings with her boyfriend Brian in their stunning new home in beautiful Hag₂s Glen. With a painful divorce behind her and family drama finally settled, Hanna begins to plan a romantic holiday getaway for the two of them. But life takes a turn when Brian's adult son suddenly moves in and Hanna unexpectedly runs into Amy, a former flatmate from Hanna's twenties in London. Reminded of her youth, and all the dreams and hopes she once had, Hanna begins to wonder if everything she now has is enough. When Amy suggests a reunion in London with old friends, Hanna accepts. While it₂s only short hop to England, Hanna feels like she's leaving Brian far behind. And when she₂s offered a new opportunity, the chance to be more than a local librarian in the little rural community where she grew up, Hanna is faced with a difficult choice: to decide what her heart truly wants.
