Desperate times call for desperate measures
Grace Trevethan (Brenda Blethyn) has led a sheltered life. Tucked away in her Cornish manor house, she grows orchids and gives tea parties. Until one day, when her world is blown apart. Taking part in a parachute jump, Grace’s husband meets a tragic and untimely end and Grace is left to pick up the pieces...
She learns some disturbing truths. Not only has he been unfaithful, he’s also left their finances in complete disarray. Grace discovers that the only way she can keep her beloved house and garden is if she finds an income - but she’s never worked a day in her life.
Grace has to make money, and fast. But to make a lot of money in the time frame she has is almost impossible. Money doesn’t just grow on trees... Or does it ?
