When Ken Trickett, separated and jobless, inherits a quayside inn from his Aunt, it appears to offer a fresh start back in his beloved hometown, especially when he spots the girl of his dreams working nearby. Then the cold reality that transpires threatens his personal renaissance when a sudden unforeseen menace puts his future at risk. But with a cynical wit, some misguided bravado and the help of the quirky set of characters that populate his new world, he is determined to hang on and find a way through. A humorous tale of our age that gently exposes some of the shallower values we live by.
