How can you pack for the journey of a lifetime? George Baxter thought he knew how retirement might look. With his wife Win by his side, the way it had always been. But when Win dies, George is faced with a different kind of future. A future where he's free to create a new life - a life alone. With his loyal dog Monty by his side, George throws himself into his work. His village antiques business is at the heart of the community, and all sorts pass through the doors - in search of their own little piece of history. George becomes increasingly interested in the stories surrounding the antiques - where they are from and who might have owned them. Unbeknowest to George, this will lead him to uncover some mysteries in his own past . . . Maybe there is a chance for a new tomorrow?
