Photographer Claire Seville has no memory of her father George, who left the family home when she was just three months old. Claire's sister Sarah does remember her dad, but neither has seen or heard from George in nearly 30 years. However, recently Claire engaged the services of Leeds-based family-tracing agency Finder Monkey. These family finders have managed to track down George, who is overcome at the news his daughters have been looking for him. In a highly emotional encounter, Claire and Sarah are reunited with their father - but will he be able to explain his motives in leaving behind the two daughters he so clearly loves?
