It seems a long time since life was good for Liz Dewhurst. Her happy marriage to Gregor ended six months earlier when she discovered he had been having an affair with another local woman for two years. But if that wasn't enough, Liz and Gregor's family businesses were also intertwined.
Growing up on neighbouring farms on the east coats of Fife, it made perfect sense to merge, and reap the rewards of European grants. The separation, however, has come at the worst possible time. With business bad, the two farms are barely struggling to survive on their own.
Liz's son Alex, a student at nearby St Andrew's University, suggests renting out a room to save some money. And the person he suggests, his German tutor Arthur Kempler, is the man to change Liz's life. Funny, charming, he hits it off immediately with her. Indeed, if he were twenty-five years younger, Liz would find him extremely attractive.
Then Arthur goes on holiday to Spain, and asks Liz to join him. And while over there, she meets the last person either expected to see: Arthur's son . . .
