Three generations of three families bound together by the fate of one baby lost and found on Tilbury Dock. All three are now settled in their lives in early 1980s Britain. It’s election time, 1983. There are tensions between right and left and young and old between and within families as a new generation of Black Britons take their place in Thatcher’s Britain, making their mark on the political, social, and creative fabric of their home. Gloria, now retired, is torn between her love for her dying ex-husband Clement and for her partner Mabel; and she's anxious about her daughter Joy's marriage to Hopeton, with their young family.
