Brings the fresh breezes of Devonshire to the screen, full of real people and capturing the spirit of the West Country.

Village romance and gossip collide amongst the West Country fisherfolk of Yellow Sands, as the Varwell family gathers to celebrate the birthday of their aging matriarch, Jennifer.
