One man's untimely death deprives a wife of her husband, robs a man of his job and offers someone else a chance of a lifetime.....
Philippa Ryecart - she is not prepared to play the grieving widow when her comfortable, sheltered world collapses around her. She must prove to everyone - and herself - that she's a woman who can stand alone.

Elizabeth Humphries - she is torn by her need to support her husband, and her emerging desire for independence.
Deborah Franklin - young and impetuous, she is ready to move up the career ladder, but can it be true that her promotion has been based less on merit than on her womanizing boss's desire for her?
One life comes to an end but, for those left behind, it's just the beginning....
