Moving to a new town is tough, but when that new town is thousands of miles away in a tropical backwater, it's especially tough. New school, new house, new climate, new kids. For Mel O'Connor it's a nightmare. Her hysterical Tv-star mother is absolutely no help. It is Mel's new friend Phoebe who helps her to cope with her new life - as well as introducing her to the gorgeous Alfie - and it is Mel who helps Phoebe come to terms with a tragedy no one should ever have to go through.
