After buying a rundown farm to spite her boyfriend, high-powered executive Erin Taylor decides to make a go of it, not realising the many pitfalls of farm life. Erin Taylor is a high-powered, London-based advertising executive who has it all - successful career, stunning flat and a gorgeous boyfriend, Mike.
Planning every aspect of her life, nothing takes Erin by surprise until she dramatically discovers Mike isn't all she thought he was.
