Helen is religious and believes she committed a mortal sin when she became pregnant by Jeremy. Determined that their daughter Jane would never fall from grace, she vigorously disciplined her. Jane fled from home aged 18, and has since had no contact with her parents.

Jeremy, a man at odds with the modern world, has failed to get any of his novels published. Still, he sets up a business advising aspiring novelists.

When Helen is charged with assault, and one of Jeremy's clients knows more about him than he is aware, life changes irrevocably for them both. But is it for the better?
