Synopsis: “Londoner, Rebecca, is on her way to get her novel finished. She’s been working on it for months but she just can’t get it done.

After one day she finds that the locals know her name, where she’s staying and what she’s doing there. She just wants to finish her book in peace. They’ve got other ideas. Welcome To Cornwall.”
