Claire works as an end of life nurse because it helps her to keep moving on, and she must keep moving on. George Bellamy hires her to care for him as he tries for a reconciliation with his estranged brother. Ross has been serving in Afghanistan and returns to find his beloved grandfather facing death. I always include major spoilers (hidden), to help with my memory  issues. Read them at your peril! Claire has to keep moving because

as a teenager, she witnessed her foster father murdering his other 2 foster children who had found out about his crimes. As a trusted police officer he was untouchable, and every time Claire has reached out for help, people have been hurt or killed.

 

The story was entertaining, nothing out of the ordinary.
