Cara, a celebrated artist, lives in a converted wing of Longshaw Lodge, a former elegant country retreat in the heart of Derbyshire's Peak District. Devastated by the passing of her long-time lover and soul mate, Cara is convinced that falling in love is a thing of the past. That is until the day that a new (and undeniably young) gardener, Ethan, arrives at the Lodge. Attracted by Ethan's youthful vitality, Cara is drawn into a lust-filled romance that causes her to question everything that she believed to be true.
