In the quiet Lancashire countryside of 1936 city-trained nurse Lara Flynn must contend with far more than muddy lanes and boisterous farm dogs. Still recovering from a past trauma and an ill-fated love affair she’s determined to prove herself as a capable district nurse and midwife to a community that doesn’t easily welcome outsiders. As autumn sets in Lara becomes a trusted presence at Ingleside Surgery - soothing frightened patients forming a close bond with her spirited colleague Marion and earning the grudging respect of the erratic but brilliant senior doctor. But behind the laughter and team spirit shadows loom. There’s loss secrets buried deep in the hearts of her new friends and a face from her past that threatens everything Lara's tried to leave behind. When tragedy strikes a patient - a younger mother with four small children - Lara’s personal strength is tested like never before. Can she dig deep to find hope and healing not just for those she cares for but also for herself?
