Plot Summary of Cogrill's Mill
"George Cogrill is comfortable in his country life with his cider press making fresh cider with his delicious apples, then catching fish in the river. It is like a dream come true with no worries until a meddling elderly aunt decides he do something to make a difference with his years.

Victoria Gloam loves taking pictures even though she isn't the greatest of photographers. After George visits her and gives her the inheritance intended for her deceased father, she has only one thing left to do and that is relocate. She loves the new location that will make a breathtaking backdrop in her pictures, George's aunt and even George, who is just not interested.

George was content in his life until his elderly aunt chose to interfere. This doesn't sit too well with him until he learns of the stipulation in his father's will. So refusing to forfeit his inheritance, he does the one thing that makes his aunt content. He is to leave part of his inheritance to his father's old partner that had been cheated years prior. The only thing is the partner has died, leaving the share to go to the daughter. Vicky is ecstatic to finally have the funds to start a fashion photography career. Once she relocates to her new surrounding and begins changing the area, George sees things in his life taking quite a different upsetting spin, while others conspire a way to erupt their lives.
