Megan has a holiday coming up with her beloved dad, Henry. A week in the south of France sounds ideal - except her father will be joining her in an urn rather than wheeling a suitcase. He left a long list of wishes for Megan after his death, and the last thing he requested was that Megan scatter his ashes in his favourite place. So here she is.

Little does she know that her estranged mother Dawn also has a holiday planned . . . to the south of France. At the request of her late ex-husband. Also to scatter his ashes.

The two women haven't spoken for years, ever since Dawn seemingly abandoned their family and cut all ties with her daughter. But now, forced together by Henry, they're stuck. It's set to be the strangest family holiday of all time - can the two women repair what has been broken between them for so long? And will they have one last chance for honesty, love and - above all - happiness?
