Meet the Troutmans. Hattie is living in Paris, city of romance, but has just been dumped by her boyfriend.

When Hattie receives a phone call from eleven-year-old Thebes, begging her to return to Canada, she arrives home to find Min on her way to a psychiatric ward, and becomes responsible for her niece and nephew.

Realising that she is way out of her league, Hattie hatches a plan to find the kids' long-lost father.
