Anne Hopwood has the life any British girl would want, but she doesn't see herself so lucky. Though Peter Crawford is rich, handsome and, above all, her best friend, they both agree that the imminent arranged marriage will be a huge disaster. Her life changes with the arrival of Jack Carter, a mysterious man of subversive ideas that saved Peter's life at war and is now the new resident of the manor. Anne finds herself torn between wanting what's wrong and conforming with what's right.
