Trainee midwife Bethan Powell lives and works in the shadow of the Graig Workhouse during the Depression. Her work is gruelling, the financial hardship and friction at home between her communist miner father, rigidly Chapel mother, unruly brothers, and dishonest aunt, distressing. The working-class of Pontypridd do not inhabit the same world as the 'crache', or gentry, who live the other side of town, and when Bethan falls for Dr Andrew John, she has to ask. is he simply amusing himself, or as deeply in love as her? And if so, is love really enough to bridge the divide?
