As the head of a prestigious movie studio for nearly two
decades, Andy Westfield has had every professional luxury: a
stunning office, a loyal assistant who can all but read his
mind, access to a private jet and company cars. Andy
always put his career before his marriage, and now, besides
his daughter and young grandchildren, it's the only thing he
truly loves.
But then Andy's world is upended. The studio is sold, and the
buyer's son demands the top seat. Out of a job and
humiliated, Andy knows he needs to get as far away from Los
Angeles as possible until the dust settles and he can find a
new way forward.
Andy signs a six-month rental agreement for a luxurious home
in a small town on the south coast of England. When he
arrives, he hires a local woman to help get his affairs in
order. A former journalist, Violet Smith is at a crossroads as
well. But when Violet leaves the manuscript of her unfinished
novel behind after work one day, Andy is captivated by a
story that begs to be adapted for the big screen. Could this
be the miracle they've both been looking for?
