Mark Brady, the charismatic, alcohol-fuelled director of a television fishing show, is filming in Scotland while struggling to stay sober and keep the show’s temperamental star – his ex-wife! – happy. The fish won’t bite, so a desperate Mark poaches a dead fish from the witty local pub owner, Bert Gordon, to stage a catch for the cameras. It all goes horribly wrong and he is lambasted by a feisty fishing guide, the gorgeous Nicki McAdam. Mark is instantly drawn to Nicki and the warmth of her quiet rural life. But are his feelings for Nicki strong enough to keep him away from the bottle and on the straight and narrow? Quirky and hilarious, Almost Heaven, is a delightful, heart-warming romantic comedy.
