**************************************************************
A FAMILY IN CRISIS. A CATALYST THAT THREATENS TO CHANGE EVERYTHING...
The land running down to the River Dean has been farmed by
the Meredith family
for generations.
Robin Meredith
bought the farm from his father, just before he married his wife
Caro
and now he and his brother
Joe
work on the land. But now Caro has died, as much as a mystery to the family as she was when she arrived twenty years ago, and the whole family feels her loss acutely, none more so than her adopted daughter
Judy
.
Into this unhappy family comes
Zoe
, Judy's London friend, an outsider with an independent spirit and a disturbing directness. Everyone underestimates Zoe's power as a catalyst for change
as the realities behind the seeming idyll of a rural community become ever clearer...
