Felicity, a widow for nine years, marries Tony, who was divorced less than a year ago, and moves from London with her daughter Annabelle to her husband's country house. Felicity soon discovers that Tony, who has a private medical practice, is not so well off, because he pays alimony to his wife who left him. And then there are Tony’s children, whose mother left with her lover for the States... All this places an enormous burden on Felicity’s shoulders, but love for her husband and her husband’s love for her help overcome all difficulties and doubts.
