But when she scarpers, he's left to look after their two teenage daughters—and face his own childhood demons. Vanessa has found love, second-time round. But one night, six-year-old Sunshine is deposited on her doorstep with a message from Vanessa's estranged daughter, "Please look after her." This time she's determined to get it right. Can Bobbie, Andy, and Vanessa really learn the secret of raising a happy family?
