Families road test a different life in the country

We follow four urban families on a once in a lifetime opportunity. These city dwellers all share the same dream: to ditch the rat race and run a business in the calm of the countryside.



We find existing businesses in the countryside that match our city families’ dream - it could be a farm, a chalet in a ski resort, a yoga retreat in the mountains, a bed and breakfast in the back of beyond. The owners take a welldeserved break and our city families move in and take over. For six weeks, our families will road test their dream. There is a tight schedule and a long to-do list that may not be so popular with spoiled kids and lazy teenagers.



How will our families contend with their new community, a surprise visit from the owners and all this peace and quiet?!!



The story of our four families interweaves across the series. In the final episode, its time to give back the keys and reflect upon the experience. Will our families decide to move to the countryside and do this now for real or will they rush back to the hustle and bustle of city life?
