Description:

Set in the market town of Everham in Hampshire, from late autumn of 1962 to summer 1963, four interweaving stories overlap as time progresses. Tensions between the characters give rise to open conflicts which erupt in scandals that echo the Profumo affair which has shocked the nation.

Synopsis:

Autumn, 1962. The market town of Everham in Hampshire is bubbling with rumours. Dr Leigh McDowall is after a woman who doesn't return his affections. In fact, Shelagh Hammond is helplessly infatuated with another doctor. But she's also busy caring for her mother Bridget who has a secret of her own. Meanwhile, Reverend Derek Bolt is troubled by the unwanted attentions of a female parishioner and confides in head teacher Jeremy North. But Jeremy's home life is in disarray and feeling lost he turns to a hospital sister for comfort. As their stories intertwine, conflicts erupt into lifechanging decisions and scandals. Set against the back-drop of the Profumo affair that rocked Britain, Everham's own politics reach a dramatic crescendo.
