Historical drama set on the Italian Riviera in the ‘Roaring 20s’, starring Natascha McElhone. Expat hotel proprietor, Bella Ainsworth, has more immediate worries than her son’s prospective marriage; she’s unexpectedly fallen prey to blackmail threats from a scheming local politician.

The younger inhabitants of the hotel find ways to let their hair down, while Cecil and Jack shake on a shady deal for the sale of the Ainsworth family heirloom.

Bella finally stands up to Signor Danioni, who hands over compromising correspondence to her husband, but before Cecil can confront her, the Ainsworth family heirloom goes missing.
