New Zealand-born Felicity stayed in the UK so that her daughter Lucy would know her dad, but now she wants to go back. However, Lucy says it's her mum's dream not hers.

Single mum Felicity has dedicated her life to raising her daughter Lucy in the UK. Not that she regrets a minute of it as Lucy now has a wonderful relationship with her father. Now Felicity wants to return back to her roots - down under. But Lucy is adamant this is her mum's dream - not hers.

Felicity was born in New Zealand and then as a teenager moved to Australia to work. Something of a free spirit, she moved to London to follow her Buddhist calling. But living for ever in the UK was never part of her intended life plan. With Lucy almost grown up at 18, and Felicity in her late fifties, Felicity is desperate to head back home to Australia to be closer to her family - before it's too late.

But she can't bear the thought that soulmate Lucy might not come with her. She has a week to convince Lucy this dream of hers is one they can share. By the end of the trial week Lucy will have to vote on where her future lies. It's a huge decision that will leave mum Felicity either happy or heartbroken. Has she any chance of persuading her steadfast daughter to leave her dad and friends to make a move with her?
