Lawn House seems to be the perfect English country mansion, with conscientious custodians, beautiful parkland and magnificent trees; however, running a large estate in the modern world can bring its challenges.

A destructive storm rips the roof off the house, and secrets from the past are revealed, which threaten the future. Can the owners, staff and friends of Lawn House find some acceptance, process these past mistakes, and move forward with their lives?
