Tom's friend Chris Hooper is the proprietor of a coffee bar in the centre of Furness. This coffee bar is the mecca of the local youth, but has unfortunately become the resort of the local yobs as well. As the story opens, Chris Hooper is being beaten up by a gang of leather-jackets. Much to Sarah's apprehension, Tom (during the school holidays) decides to take over the running of the coffee bar while his friend is in hospital. He believes that the coffee bar, if run effectively, provides a necessary meeting-place for the town's young people. But certain people want the bar closed down at any cost and Sarah, her sympathies torn, finds herself in the centre of a controversy, with middle-aged respectability on one side and heedless youth on the other.

How much should a very sick hospital patient be told? If diagnosis is late and it is known that treatment is not likely to be successful what should the doctor do about it? Should he reveal all or is the man in the bed already aware, deep down, of the seriousness of his condition and doesn't want it put into words? Doesn't want to hear the worst.
This sort of dilemma faces the hospital doctor almost every day. Yet he is paid less than many a factory worker and is at everyone's beck and call twenty-four hours a day. Why does he do it? What does he get out of it?
