Bethesda Residential Home for the Active Elderly is well on her way to becoming the UK South Coast’s Residential Home of First Choice, all thanks to her formidable managing director, Veronica Puxworthy. For the past four years, since unexpectedly inheriting Bethesda in 1975, Veronica and her motley crew of managers have worked hard to make it a success. But now, after a series of surprise attacks, that success is under serious threat.

Despite Joanne, an accountant by profession, vowing never, ever to go on holiday again with “Let’s drink Malaga dry!” Veronica, she hears the announcement, “Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts, we will shortly be landing at Costa del Sol airport.” Returning from their holiday peeling and poor, they hatch a late night, gin and paella-fuelled, plan.

Broken hearted as well as broke, Emma invests everything she has left into a decaying, derelict ex-funeral parlor on dingy, run-down Bucket Street. Her rose-tinted vision and unwavering enthusiasm help bring the soul of the building back to life. But it’s not the only soul she discovers as age-old secrets soon surface… However, as Crumpets café begins to thrive, and Emma’s hard work begins to pay off, her dream quickly becomes a nightmare. Local protection racketeers, underhand property company dealings and secret council plans for a bypass threaten Emma’s newly built business.
