Samantha Sweeting is a lawyer and all her adult life she's had just one ambition. She is desperate to become a partner of the prestigious law firm for whom she works. Just as she's about to achieve this she apparently makes a massive error and runs away from it all. She gets on a train - the first train to anywhere - and finds herself stranded in a Cotswold village. There's a beautiful house nearby and she knocks on the door hoping for a glass of water, but the owner thinks that she's come for an interview for the post of housekeeper. Desperate for somewhere to stay she accepts the job despite the fact that she can't cook, launder or do anything else remotely domesticated. It's only the charms of the gardener that keep her in the job.
