In the month from hell, incurable optimist Anna has lost her father and her job, and her trademark smile is dimming. Clearing out her dad's house, she discovers a postcard of a beautiful sandy beach and a map with a route plotted to the Greek island of Kefalonia. With an empty summer stretching ahead, Anna's eyes stray to her father's old camper van. Next thing she knows, she's hitting the road with friend Demi in tow, on a course from Salford to Skala!
