Guy, Bob and Maya get their dream job to design and build a garden in the North Cornish UK holiday resort of Port Isaac. Their natural curiosity about the place and the people they meet reveals secrets that are sometimes embarrassing, fascinating or even dangerous. In the worst of these there is a modern twist on piracy with a cargo of smuggled animals - both live and dead. Then Maya disappears...Everyone has to dig deep to uncover a sense of humour, decency and community in a place where natural beauty and cruelty have maybe always co-existed.
