It is 1899, Queen Victoria's reign will soon be over, and change is in the air. A young girl from Devon, Phoebe Drewitt, escapes from her brutal father and a hard life on Dartmoor. She is rescued by the reclusive, middle-aged Kendall Bartholomew - but are his motives as innocent as they appear? Arnold Randolph-Smythe is a successful shopkeeper and upstanding citizen, adored by his daughter. His rich wife, Dulcie, meets Phoebe and invites her to their home. The arguments, hatreds and loves that follow have profound repercussions for all involved.
