What to expect

Megan has a holiday coming up in the south of France with her beloved dad - it's just a shame he will be joining her in an urn, rather than wheeling a suitcase. He has left a long list of wishes for Megan after his death, and the last request was for Megan to 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. Forced together after all these years, can the two women repair what has been broken for so long? Is there one last chance for honesty, love and - above all - happiness?
