When Faith learns that Brian's florist shop is failing, mainly because of a sizeable debt to the taxman, he drops a bombshell on her - he would like to move to the country, buy a smallholding and grow his own flowers.

Realising this has been a long-held dream of Brian's, Faith agrees to give up their life in London and move to Devon. Once they have found the perfect property, everything becomes a challenge, including a visit to the local market to buy their first cow! On top of the stresses of moving house, the Addis family have to contend with trying to build a successful business.

The girls have new schools to settle into and their son Marcus needs to find his purpose. In amongst all the chaos, will Brian's dream of self-sufficiency become a reality?
