Patricia (Irène Jacob) is trapped in a relationship with an obsessive and dangerously irrisistible man, Pascal (Yvan le Bollac'h), whom she no longer loves but cannot leave. Too afraid to tell him it's over, she is desperate to find a way out of this stifling relationship.

Loyal butler Jonathan is sent to rescue the failing Blueberry Inn, unaware his blinkered Lord plots to leave it to him and three chaotic staff as a social experiment. When the Lord dies suddenly, Jonathan discovers he's a co-owner of the Inn and has just one month to save it. Battling sabotage from furious heirs, the mismatched team (and a pig!) rally their communities, securing the Inn's future against all odds.
