Is it ever too late to reclaim the life you never lived?
Rosie O'Malley has not drawn breath after tragically losing her mother and then being abandoned by the one man she knew she loved.
Boston-based Patrick Power touches down at Dublin Airport for his brother's Seán's wedding, having dedicated the last decade to building his thriving Irish restaurant business. A decade earlier, he left behind the love of his life and try as he might, he's never been able to forget her.
Imagine Patrick's shock when he discovers the wedding is being held in Cliff Top, Rosie's hotel - the girl he let slip away.
As Sandycove shimmers in a heatwave, can Patrick navigate a family wedding as well as his own feelings? And will Rosie realise she's been living her late mother's life and not her own? Can she forgive Patrick for leaving her or will ambition and responsibility once again stand in the way of love?
