Two-time Oscar nominee Brenda Blethyn stars as Grace Trevethen, whose late husband jumped out of a plane without a parachute. Grace has been left with a manor on the Cornish Coast - and the massive, suffocating mountain of debt her husband had been secretly amassing. Now, with creditors and repossessors on her heels, Grace is faced with the prospect of losing everything.



Desperate times call for desperate measures, so when Grace is asked to tend an ailing, if illicit, plant belonging to the manor's soon-to-be-sacked caretaker Matthew (Craig Ferguson of "The Drew Carey Show"), she gets an outrageous idea. Why not use her renowned green thumb to make some serious money and pay off her debts? Taken with the idea, Grace and Matthew transform her orchid hothouse into a prodigiously lucrative enterprise of another kind. In spite of the old adage that crime never pays, Grace's situation comes barreling to a resolution in an adventure that inspires personal liberation, a touch of romance and delight for all.
