Two sisters. One secret. A journey to learn who they really are…

As the waves crash on to a wild Atlantic beach, Lou is at a crossroads. For the first time ever, just giving up seems like an option.

In just one night, at her own 50th birthday, her world has imploded. Her mother has kept a secret hidden all her life. And it changes everything. Before Lou can take another step, she needs to get to the bottom of the shocking truth that alters who she really is.

Along with her sister, Toni, who is facing her own crisis, the two women set out on a life-changing journey – one that will take them through Ireland’s wildest coastline and to Sicily’s sun-baked rocky shores.

One surprise proposal.
One moment that will change everything.

At the top of the Eiffel Tower, a young man proposes to his girlfriend, cheered on by delighted tourists. But in that moment everything changes, not just for the happy couple, but for their family and friends at home.

Mother of the groom, Grace, finds that her son's impending wedding means that she's spending more time with her ex-husband - surely she's not falling for him all over again...

Bridesmaid, Leila, is determined to put on a brave face for her best friend, but she's still nursing a broken heart since 'The One' walked out on her a few months ago.

And cake-maker and widow Vonnie is only just daring to let love back into her life - yet with someone determined to stop her blossoming romance, it's looking less sturdy than the wedding cake!

It's clear that romance is in the air, but will all three women find their own chance at happiness before the big day?

"You can have it all!"

Abby Barton's TV career is taking off and now she and her husband can have the life they've always dreamed of in a lovely Irish town -- at least, in theory! But when your husband takes you for granted and your teenage daughter hates you, an adoring old flame can spell danger to your seemingly perfect life. Fortunately, Abby has her friends to keep her sane. For starters, her best friend, Sally, owns a beauty salon, and Sally and her husband throw fantastic parties, where there are still more friends to be made.

"Just be sure to share."

Sally's friend Lizzie makes time for everybody: her gal pals, her grown children, even her ex-husband. But when her ex finds someone new, Lizzie can't help but wonder if she'll ever love again. The women are all thrilled to meet Erin, who has moved home to Ireland from Chicago for her husband's new job. But is she cut out for small-town life, and what of the family she left behind years ago? Together and on their own, these four women are about to face highs and lows they never anticipated. Only from each other can they learn that life is for the living and that they need to grab it with both hands....

. . . is the road that takes you home.
Rae, manager of the local cafe, has noticed the lovely, sad-eyed girl.

And as the lives of the four women intertwine, each in her own way is learning about love, letting go--and that finding your way can lead to the last place you expected.
