These bequests see Veronique embark on investigating a painting that Paul left her, which will lead to changes she could never have imagined for herself. As Veronique works through the emotional fall-out of Paul's betrayal, she picks up her own artistic ambitions again - and even finds romance blossoming with young photographer Aidan.
