Manson is confounded when Denny will not join him in fighting Vaughan for negligence in sub-standard safety at the pit.

The reason for Denny's reluctance is Lydia Vaughan, whose own health is under threat as Manson discovers the real cause of her tremors.

Based on AJ Cronin's groundbreaking novel about medical life before the creation of the UK's National Health Service.
