Auctioneer James Broad and restorer Saf Fakir travel to Manchester to help Caroline, whose life was turned upside down when her husband Nick was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer鈥檚. Now in a care home, Nick鈥檚 absence has left Caroline alone in the family home they built together, surrounded by a lifetime of memories.

Meanwhile, Saf works his magic on a well-loved bamboo hall stand and a broken vintage sign that needs some TLC. He鈥檚 determined to restore them to their former glory.

Every item sold brings Caroline a step closer to easing the cost of Nick鈥檚 ongoing care and to finding peace as she begins a new chapter of her own.
