Cat is the single mother of precocious 10-year-old Lily, and the only daughter of a middle-aged feminist style guru who is simultaneously appalled by her ideal-less job (management consultant) and lack of fashion sense. Cat thinks things might be looking up at work when hot new VP Toby takes her under his wing; his mentoring is starting to turn to something more personal when she is unexpectedly left a run-down naturopathic clinic in the depths of the country.
What Cat doesn't know is that Sir Rodney, who left her the clinic, was her father. What she does know is that it's a challenge and an opportunity and her daughter and au pair really want her to take it. So she does, and in addition to the clinic inherits an extraordinary collection of eccentric guests, conspiracies and potential heartbreak...
