Series charting a year in the life of the Isles of Scilly. Island vet Heike and her fiance Alistair ponder whether they can afford a proper wedding.

In the first episode of the series charting a year in the life of the remote Isles of Scilly, off the western coast of Cornwall, minister the Reverend David Easton struggles to come to terms with the biggest blow of his entire career - in a secret vote, a small group of his congregation has voted him off the islands.

Meanwhile newly-engaged island vet Heike and her fiance Alistair ponder whether they can really afford a proper wedding, and after the disastrous attempt by four island men to row home from New York, a wrecked rowing boat turns up unexpectedly in Newfoundland.
