Synopsis

Marilyn Vine’s life is devastated by the accidental death of her much loved only child Dale during his 15th birthday celebrations in New England.

3,000 miles away in Dublin, Ria Lynch’s marriage comes to a stunningly abrupt end when husband Danny reveals that he is leaving her for his pregnant mistress. An accidental phone call brings these two women together and, in their mutual need for time and space, they agree to a house exchange. Both women slowly find healing and strength through their new surroundings and the kindness of strangers. They discover they really can change their lives forever.
