Synopsis

Andrew Sanderson, brilliant surgeon and renowned musician, is still grieving the death of his wife Mary when his younger daughter turns up on the doorstep having left her philandering husband. It’s not long before the house is overrun with daughters, grandchildren, sons-in-law and a boisterous stray dog called Storm. At Andrew's time of life, is this really what he needs? One thing is sure, home is a lot more interesting than it once was, and things have certainly changed from when he was a boy. As he reminisces about his past and the love he once shared with Mary, Andrew starts to realise that there is a new road to be travelled; he just has to let go of his grief and embrace tomorrow…
