In
Sydney, following complaints by his wealthy neighbors about his rundown estate,
reclusive billionaire widower Declan Grant hires horticulturist Shelley
Fairhill to fix his mansion’s neglected jungle that used to be a garden. Declan makes it clear to his temporary
gardener that once she finishes the job, she is to leave so he peacefully can
return to mourning the deaths of his wife and baby as he has for the last two
years.
Upbeat Shelley ignores her client’s insistence that he wants
to be alone. Her constant cheerfulness
inspires his return to his vocation as he begins creating his first video game
since his loved ones died. As they
slowly fall in love, panicking Declan allows a minor setback to end their
relationship.
This
tender second chance (at life and love) contemporary is a warm gradually
percolating tale in which the romance cleverly mirrors the blossoming of the
flowers in the garden. The storyline is
summed up fascinatingly by Declan who considers Shelley as an Australian
Pollyanna princess in his newest fantasy game.
