Buying a neglected motel with a beautiful view seems like the perfect way to begin again, but a fresh start quickly becomes more complicated than expected. The owners find themselves surrounded by an unpredictable collection of guests and neighbours, including their pregnant daughter, a mysterious young criminal from next door, and a dog that appears to understand more than the people around it. As private disappointments, family tensions, and new possibilities gather under one roof, ordinary lives shift in surprising directions. Stephanie Johnson turns a sharp eye on contemporary Auckland in a novel that balances humour and heartbreak while exploring reinvention, connection, and the way change arrives whether people are ready or not.
