When Jack Swallow finishes university, he applies for a coveted job at the British Library.
Jack’s world is thrown upside down when he arrives for his interview early and sees that his girlfriend and would-be fiancée, Paige, has applied for the very same position. Paige is offered the job and ends their relationship on the same day, leaving Jack moping at his parents’ house and in no mood to do anything about moving on.
It’s Jack’s mum who eventually takes the initiative. She sends him up to Portobello, Scotland, to house-sit while his aunt’s away in India. As if being sent north of the border wasn’t bad enough, he’s also got to look after Aunt Em’s treasured Border Collie dog, Sheba, while he’s there.
One dog-related calamity follows another, and Jack’s ready to throw in the towel. On one occasion, however, it seems that Sheba’s energy and mischief may have actually worked in his favour when her antics lead to him meeting the lead singer in a local indie-music band.
It could be fate. Then again, it could just be another roller-coaster ride in the making.
