On a bitterly cold day in February, 1976, Tiggy arrives at
the remote Bodmin Moor home of her best friend, Julia, in
the middle of a snowstorm Tiggy has recently lost Tom, the
love of her life, in a tragic accident, and is pregnant with
his child. Although they hadn't yet made it to the altar,
Tom and Tiggy had intended to be married, but the
headmistress at the school where Tiggy worked didn't care
about what might have been. The fact that Tiggy was
unmarried and pregnant was unacceptable to her, and Tiggy
was forced to leave. Julia opens her arms and welcomes her
friend into her family at Bodmin Moor.It's not the first
time that Tiggy has reached out to Julia. Years ago, when
they were young, Tiggy found refuge with Julia's family
after her father tried to abuse her. Now, once again, Tiggy finds new strength here in the
peaceful countryside with the adopted family that surrounds
her. Julia's children are a delight, and Tiggy happily
anticipates the birth of her own child. She comes to see her
baby as a reason for hope and feels the child will keep Tom
close to her in spirit. However, tragedy will find Tiggy
again, and Julia will step in as a good friend once more. Nearly thirty years later, Julia's children still tell
stories about Tiggy, who came into their lives one stormy
night and left her mark. Now, they are grown and navigating
their own ways through adulthood. Tiggy's son is about to
become a father himself, and Julia still finds her life
intertwined with Tiggy's past. Yet, in the midst of new
beginnings, the next generation soon discovers that there
are secrets from the past that reverberate in the present.
Infidelities, jealousies, and past loves that present new
temptations arise to test the bonds of family and friendship.
