Alex is bored by his job as the chief accountant at a small chain of travel agents, has a love/hate marriage and drinks more than he should. He and his wife Amanda, who's an estate agent, communicate by leaving each other notes stuck to the refrigerator door. He dreams of leaving his job to open a coffee shop. But then his world changes. A solicitor tells him that he's been left something in an ex-girlfriend's will - a daughter, Caitlin. A daughter he never knew he had and who has no other relatives. On the same day he discovers that his wife is sleeping with his boss. Suddenly he is alone with a massive new responsibility. He gives up his job and starts to set up the coffee shop that he has always dreamed of running - with Caitlin alongside him. But his new life is not easy. How will Alex dodge social services, form a relationship with Caitlin - a thirteen-year-old stranger - and somehow find it within himself to put down new roots and rebuild his life from scratch?
