David and Elizabeth Fredericks are spending a month away from their home in Eastern Scotland. Traveling through Greece and Italy, they plan to indulge David's love of classical architecture, celebrate his retirement, and heal the wounds his recent affair caused to their marriage.

When their daughter Kate, an engineering professor and the apple of David's eye, turns up in Athens unannounced to tell them that she is in love with Charlotte Macfie, a talented patisserie chef, things quickly go awry.

Unable to cope with Kate's revelation, David withdraws, and Elizabeth is forced to take on the uncharted role of mediator, between the formerly inseparable father and daughter.
