Facing repossession of their house, they decide to give everything up and go north to Scotland on a camping trip to contemplate their future. Liberty and Michael elect to stay behind until things take a turn for the worst, when Liberty sees her boyfriend with an other girl. She goes North with her Grandfather after all, only to discover her parents are living in a 'Green' New Age camp with ex hippies and oddball characters. Both parents get involved in the village anti wind farm campaign as a bid to fit in, whilst also placating the ex army New Age gang they encountered on the road. Liberty is unable to fit in with life at the camp in a tent. She ventures out to meet the locals in the village. Meanwhile grandfather has a heart attack and ends up in hospital. The family is broken and only Amber has the courage to put it together again. A film about loss and renewal.

Wayne Wilson is a primo paparazzi who has gained his reputation by stalking his celebrity clients. Feted by an editor who need his skills to increase the circulation of her magazine, he goes on a spree of photograping footballers, models and rockstars, but does not follow his brief. Eleanor the editor is not impressed. To get him to make amends, she sends him to photgraph the reclusive actress May Hudson, who has not been photgraphed for years. He soon discovers that he cannot get her picture in the conventional manner, as she never leaves her Buckingham mansion. Wayne realises he must try to befriend May's village neighbours of film producers and actors. However they quickly quickly turn their aquaintance with him to their advantage by hatching a plan to have Wayne pose as a movie producer to get May in their movie. Like the film Sunset Boulevard, May makes a triumphal return to Pinewood Studios when the village has-beens succeed in getting their film funded, but when she discovers Wayne is a lowly paparazzi, she drugs and ties him to the bed. Kidnapped and helpless Wayne's life as a paparazzi unravels before him!
