Synopsis: Andrew Falconer was born to be Head Gardener, but he was also born to travel and meet some unlikely people along the way, but then as the saying goes, 'you can never really escape your fate'. Charvin's Lake is based on a series of lively adventures as lived by Andrew Falconer, who, whilst working in England and the South of France, unwittingly finds himself caught up in all sorts of unforeseen adventures that include intense family drama, a murder mystery, dealing with unwanted ghosts, stumbling upon an old bronze inkwell that seems to possess strong supernatural powers and the restoration of an ancient park with more than a few surprises. In spite of all this, he still manages to fit in plenty of trout fishing and hiking in his spare time and does all this in the company of numerous companions who are instantly drawn to his adventurous lifestyle, as well as his natural talent for being both everywhere and everything, but certainly not for being boring.
