She spent the best holidays of her childhood on the North Sea island. But holidays are something different from everyday life. Because Eva's hasty escape from the big city presents her with new problems: The old thatched roof house is in need of renovation, craftsmen are harder to get than tickets for Taylor Swift, and the first guests are knocking. Little by little, Eva makes friends on the island, but not all islanders are well-disposed towards her. And what secret does the villa hold?

Only with the help of the lovable Bree, a young woman from Ghana, her two children and the sympathetic surf instructor Lenni, Eva may still be able to achieve her dream of owning her own B&B. Will she manage to master her new life and find her own happiness?
