Living with her dreamer boyfriend Benedict, who runs a coffee shack, Natalka’s life becomes more complicated when her mother Viktoria arrives from war-torn Ukraine.

But when Edwin suddenly disappears, the team’s search for him takes them from London back to the south coast, where the surprising solution lies close to home.
