And tracking down a one-night stand is the last thing independent and self-sufficient Becky wants to do. She has no room in her life for a man - even if he is the father of her child. But as she sets out to find Lilly's father, she's about to discover that life has a habit of interfering with the best laid plans. Meanwhile Lilly's father Dennis has his own problems. Once a high-flyer on the Dublin property scene, his life has taken a very different route - one he is struggling to come to terms with. And discovering he has a daughter is definitely not in his current five-year plan. When Becky finally manages to track Dennis down, she finds him completely changed from the man she remembers. And themore she comes to know the person he is now, she begins to wonder if maybe there just might be room for him in Lilly's life - and in hers too.
