In the drowsy heat of an Italian summer, four strangers arrive in a beautiful town in the mountains of Basilicata, dreaming of adventure. The town's Mayor has given them the chance to buy a crumbling historic building for a single Euro - on the condition that they renovate their home within three years, and help bring new life to the local community. Elise is desperate to get on the property ladder. Edward feels suffocated and wants to escape. Mimi is determined to start afresh after her divorce. And there's one new arrival whose true motives are yet to be revealed.
