New Age novice, Izzie yearns to experience the enticing world of alternative living.That's Izzie Franklin everyone's pal but no one's dream date. Following a quickly regretted debauched night with roguish traveller, Travis Izzie flees Brighton and finds work on an archaeological dig in the suburbs. Here Izzie believes she's found paradise and refuge with new friends unaware of her shameful behaviour. However, the people who surround her are carrying their own burdens and secrets, not least handsome botanist, Gray who Izzie falls hopelessly in love with. If unrequited passion wasn't bad enough shaking off that night with Travis proves far more difficult and complicated than she imagned. Sex has its consequences, though a full-scale riot at an illegal rave on the hills above sleepy Portslade Village wasn't something Izzie had counted on.
