The young South African A&E doctor is dumbstruck when he walks into the softly-furnished quiet room - the Royal London Hospital’s ‘Room of Death’ to laddish medics of either gender. For standing there before him about to receive the worst of news from his lips is the identical twin of the twenty-five year-old woman he has just pronounced dead, after yet another cycling accident at the Old Street roundabout.

When Rhi decides she must leave after Carys’s death, she takes Matt and Jamie along with her in pursuit of an impossible dream, which leads the three millennials to throw themselves into reviving a broken-down watercress farm in Hampshire. But will their love triangle survive the strains of daring to step off the success-driven carousel as it spins ever faster in bi-polar Britain?
