Bill Shore is a successful plastic surgeon with his own practice in London, proud owner of a brand spanking new Bentley car and everything is well with his world. However everything is not well in the worlds of his wife Lisa and his neglected children Kate and Harvey and so Lisa annouces that she is leaving him and taking the kids to the small island of Hildasay (Population 326) and if he wants to save their marriage he must go with her. Bill is therefore forced to leave his position for the next six months and join his family on an island with stunning scenery, amiable residents and peaceful lifestyle. His idea of a living hell.

The loss of Duncan makes Lisa now want to return home to London, but Bill has just discovered that troubles back there may force him to remain on the island of Hildasay -- permanently.
