Young widower Gabriel Cochrane arrives in Candleford looking for a new start.

Costume drama. Widower Gabriel Cochrane arrives in Candleford and the villagers take him to their hearts, but will his grief over his wife prevent him from finding happiness?

The bank has repossessed his home and business, his young wife has died, and Gabriel finds himself looking for a new start. The people of Candleford take him to their hearts, and Dorcas offers him a job and a home. But will their kindness be enough to save him, or will he let his vendetta against the bank, and his grief over his dead wife, prevent him rebuilding his fortunes and finding happiness again?
