The story of a mother and her oddball son over a century of change
1924: Bessie is torn from the school she loves to work as a skivvy for her family.
1939: With war about to break out, she marries the steadfast, ambitious Hugh, moves from Manchester to Edinburgh - and confronts fresh challenges.
1944: Sam is born and a strong bond develops between the pair as they re-establish themselves in South London. Their relationship is tested as he grows up and begins to explore his sexuality.
1992: Now middle-aged, someone finally enters Sam's life who wants to stay. But Robbie has a wife and two daughters...
