James and Mary Swan picked bluebells for their mother on their way home from school. They were expecting freshly baked cakes, but there was to be no teatime treat on that fateful day. What they found instead would change their lives forever. Seven years on, together with their older brother, Noah; and the support of foster parents, they summon up the courage to attend their father's funeral. But will that give them closure?

Could sibling rivalry destroy their dreams and ambitions?
