Three generations. Two families. One secret.
After another relationship disaster Alice Littleton returns home to spend summer in Dublin's Sandycove with her Mum, Ciara and beloved grandmother, Eva at their family deli and grocers.
As Alice settles back into her old life with best friend Becca and her new boyfriend Conal Blake, she begins to fall back in love with the everyday rhythms of their family shop and Irish life. Is this the tonic she needs to mend a broken heart?
Single and with mid-life looming her mother Ciara is consumed with running the family deli and feels life is passing her by until best friend Mary-Marg suggests they restart the disco they used to run as teenagers. Could this be what Sandycove's millennials need or will there be murder on the dancefloor?
But it seems all small-towns have their fair share of secrets and ultimately the past will always catch up with you.
Why does Conal's grandmother insist on meeting Alice and what happened between her and Eva?
And why hasn't Ciara spoken to Conal's father, Paddy, for thirty years?
Is it time for the truth to be told so they can change their future?
Perfect for the fans of Faith Hogan and Laura Pearson
