Three families are bound together by the fate of one baby lost and found at Tilbury Docks in 1946. And now a new generation of our characters begin to take their place in the rapidly changing Britain of the 1960s. As the Big Freeze thaws out, Joy is now 18 and contemplating her future; the relationships she wants to have and whether she wants to study at university. With her husband away, Gloria is facing some difficult decisions in her own life as well as her daughter's.
