Synopsis
Ettie Brookbank is the heart and soul of Cook's Basin, a sleepy cluster of dazzling blue bays where the only way home is by boat.
However, as idyllic as her surroundings are, she is all too aware of the years slipping by without note.

Then fate offers her a lifeline - the chance to breathe new life into a beloved local landmark.
Ettie's salvation, it seems, is a lopsided little cafe on the water's edge ...
