Samuel Tyne always believed he was destined for greatness. Emigrating to Canada from Ghana in the 1960s was the first step on this path, but fifteen years later his grand plans have stalled. He now has a wife, Maud, twin thirteen-year-old daughters Chloe and Yvette, and a mind-numbing job. But then he is thrown a lifeline. His uncle Jacob dies, leaving him a grand but crumbling house in the town of Aster, and Samuel persuades his reluctant family to seize this chance for a new beginning.
