With its flower-filled gardens, splashing fountains and sundrenched pool, Magnolia Park is an idyllic holiday complex in Fuengirola on the Spanish Costa del Sol. Into this stunning setting comes Amy Crawford and her partner Sam Benson, one of the most sought-after men in Dublin before Amy hooked him. But their relationship is heading for disaster and, once their holiday is over, she plans to confront the self-satisfied Sam and demand that he change his ways. Meanwhile Sam has problems of his own in his job as an advertising executive. He has just completed a lucrative advertising campaign but the client isn't happy and is threatening to take the contract elsewhere. Amy strikes up a friendship with long-term resident, Betty Parsons, who is undergoing a reappraisal of her strange marriage of thirty-four years. Betty's son Josh is reeling after the break-up of a love affair and is also concerned about his mother's blossoming friendship with Nigel Smyth, a charming retired Englishman. Strange things can happen in the Spanish sun, as Amy will discover before her holiday is over.
