Jacko knows they are just pawns on a chessboard, he knows they are being followed, but by what and by whom? One of their crew is supposedly a female reporter, but is she? There is an attraction between her and Bill but because of Bill's responsibilities she must stay as one of the crew. The only person she can confide in is the ship's cook, Les, who is a father to all. You're welcome to come on board and be one of the crew. Experience the calm seas with the sails looming above. Come alive in a gale, hanging on by your fingernails. Help change over the sails, or sit drinking coffee and eating hot, sticky buns. Be a part of Daisy May. You most certainly have my permission to come on board. I look forward to meeting with you.

Aimée's sense of identity is shattered by a stranger at the door - another mother. The revelation undermines the close family relationships that confine Aimée. She seeks solitude to re-invent herself, but is soon challenged by unexpected responsibilities. Ill-equipped for these she has to grow up fast. Silences are broken and dramas erupt that dissipate her naïve expectations as she shuttles between city and country, seeking to define who she really is. Who will give her back that lost sense of belonging?
