Set partly on an Ayrshire farm and in the boom town of 19th Century Glasgow in the 1870s - the story of the Moorhouse family through good times and bad.
From the novel by Guy McCrone, dramatised by Clara Glynn.

The full extent of the bank collapse is beginning to come to light. Henry Hayburn has been hit by a double tragedy: the family business is ruined and his mother has died - possibly of shock. Phoebe is moved to make a life changing decision.
