England 1926: Twelve years ago, Frank went to war and Daisy said she'd wait for him. She never wrote to him and when he returned, she was gone. When Daisy discovered she was pregnant she wrote to Frank, but he never replied, and his powerful father forced her to leave. Now, she works as a clippie, a ticket-taker on the buses, and lives in poverty with her son and her war-disabled father. During the General Strike Frank sees Daisy on the picket line. Both are angry and mistrustful, but they soon discover their feelings for each other have not changed. Then Frank's father calls in thugs to force the strikers back to work, and things threaten to turn very nasty indeed...
