When Frankie and her daughter head to Cornwall for a seaside break, they're joined by a cast of characters — from old friends to new acquaintances — each bringing their own secrets, dramas, and hopes for the perfect getaway. But as misunderstandings and surprises unfold, the holiday becomes anything but perfect… and all the more entertaining for it.
