For over twenty-five years, Gus and Monica have lived in Spain running a vineyard but becoming distanced from the three children who live in the UK.
When Gus has a stroke the three adult children rush to Spain in an attempt to organise their parents' lives.
It isn't long before hidden resentments begin to rise to the surface, causing tension and challenges, as everyone tries to find a resolution to the situation they find themselves in.
