The war is over. It is time for new beginnings. Celebrating the opening of Foxden Hotel, New Year's Eve 1948, an enemy from the war years turns up. He threatens to expose a secret that will ruin Bess's happiness and the new life she has worked so hard to create. Bess's husband throws the man out. So is that the last they see of him? Or will he show up again when they least expect? Bess had hoped fascism was a thing of the past, buried with the victims of WW2. Little does she know the trouble that lies ahead, not only for herself, but also for her family.
