Synopsis

We've all dreamt about it, but for Cleo Dowling the dream becomes a reality. Lucky Cleo comes into serious money and takes herself off to the small village of Kilrowan in Connemara to write a novel. But what happens when writer's block sets in and she becomes obsessed with her sexy neighbour? Dannie Moore's love life has always been complicated, but she has the knack of complicating things even more. When film director Jethro Palmer chooses Kilrowan as the location for a blockbuster movie, the consequences have a cataclysmic effect on her life. Deirdre O'Dare leaves her husband Rory behind in LA to accompany her friend, movie star Eva Lavery, to Kilrowan. When the cat's away and all that...but who is the cat? And although Deirdre is writing Eva's biography, it would seem that the actress is not telling the truth, the whole truth...
