Tess is feeling burnt out from her uninspiring job and her busy city lifestyle.

Having tragically lost her mother a few years earlier, she knows she owes it to herself to make so much more of the precious opportunities life offers. Her godmother Luna, who leads a very simple existence in a rustic cottage in the North Queensland rainforest, is also at something of a crossroads. Keen to expand her jewellery-making business, she needs the new connections that a bustling city offers. When she suggests to Tess that the two of them might swap homes for an extended period, it seems the perfect solution.
