Paradise Creek is the story of one's man's pursuit of happiness.
It is the late 1940s: along a Cornish creek, Leo Walmsley stands beside the hut that only a few years earlier he and his wife had made their idyllic home.
Having moved away to build their another home in his native Yorkshire, and then been forced out by the Second World War to live in secluded Wales, they are now separated. She has taken his children. A broken man returns.
The hut is now derelict. Haunted by past memories, so desperate is he to get his family back that against all the odds he attempts to recreate the home beside the cove in the hope they will be reunited.
Old friendships are renewed, new ones are forged. But the old challenges still remain: the remoteness of the spot, rowing across the Fowey estuary to reach the nearest shops for food and supplies, the lack of power, and running water. Somehow he must repair not only the physical damage, but also the harm and cruelty that's been inflicted on his soul. It will require patience and focus on his objective.
But are those days lost forever? Can paradise be found by rebuilding the past?
