London in the Swinging Sixties ... Life's been hard for Marcie Brooks, but when she marries Michael Jones things start to look up. Not only has he given her daughter, Joanna, his name but they now also have a son. The family's finances are on the up too, with Michael opening his first nightclub. However, when he refuses to do business with an Irish gangster, Michael finds himself being framed for murder. With her husband in prison, everyone thinks she should sell the club, but a little voice seems to be telling Marcie she needs to fight for her children's future, even if it means standing up to intimidation.
