Busy mum of twins Liv is usually looking forward to weekly at the Seaside Hut in Devon, sometimes if she feels that something’s not correct between her and Matt. She’s sure he’s just too busy at the job to join them on the summer holiday, not really that he desires time alone…

Baz loves having his family members to stay by the ocean, but when an unexpected guest arrives, he sees himself torn between the past and the near future…

Still reeling from a break-up, almost all Sofia wants is a quiet summer – until about Seven Days in Summertime she meets Baz and her plans are turned ugly. She understands she’s hurrying into things, but could this week at the Seaside Hut be the beginning of something new?

And back, Matt might be missing Liv and the children, but when an old friend appears he finds himself distracted… Exactly what does she find out about his family’s past that she’s not letting on?

While tensions rise over a week in summer, the lives of the holidaymakers start to take an urgent turn…
