It's never easy when you're the new partner in a family home. Hurdles need to be negotiated: friends, neighbours - children.

Entering into such a world is school teacher and divorcee, Michael Freeman, who must also become accustomed to the demanding film producer career of his new love, Fiona.

​

When Fiona must leave for Sydney to promote her latest project, Michael is left with her precocious seventeen-year-old daughter, Pixie - a girl hell-bent on making Michael's stay as uncomfortable and as short as possible - as well as Zac, Fiona's indifferent fifteen-year-old son, who has recently discovered sex.

Shocked when it appears Pixie may have been indecently assaulted, Fiona returns home to questions over Michael's past.

Support for Michael comes from unexpected quarters, but once trust has gone - can love ever be the same?
