Once a row of abandoned houses, Saffron Lane is bursting with new life thanks to the efforts of owners Nell and Angus. Their plan to develop an artists' colony is fast becoming a reality, as is their idea to transform the secret wartime messaging room in one of the houses into a museum. Ginger finds a place to call her own in the fledgling community, taking refuge from her bully of a son. When she meets Iain, sparks fly between them - the first time she's been attracted to anyone for years. But will her son succeed in spoiling it? Meanwhile, Emil is in charge of readying the messaging room for the public and, despite an interfering councilwoman, is determined to face his challenges head on. Will the newcomers manage to find happiness?
