In the quiet seaside village of Witford Market, Suffolk, a tight-knit community lives and works in peaceful harmony.
Against this blissful backdrop, the owner of a local pub dies in a freak accident.
Newcomer Emma Stafford, here to stay with her sick mother, uses her training as a Metropolitan Police Crime Scene Technician to informally investigate the death. At the same time, she makes a momentous decision - one which will change her life dramatically.
At first, she is suspicious of the many offers of help, but as the days go by, she begins to understand how the community works, and she enlists the help of her best friend and new friends in the community.
How will she juggle the three pressures on her - a criminal investigation, preparations for her new life, and supporting her mother in her last days? Will she be successful, or will she fail all three challenges?
