Gloria Manson returns home from London to find her mother has become a penitent recluse. While working in the village pub and flirting with old school mates Gloria tries to bring her mother back into reality. Some friends from London come down to the village and help Gloria with her mother and cause her to restart her London career in a new location. Most of the action takes place in Fotheringham Manor Estate where school friends Gary and Freddie work. This Estate is the home of the Lord family where son Daniel is the resident manager. Hikers trespass through the Estate causing damage and upsets to both Daniel and his forester girl friend Katya. These hikers and the new Education Centre on the Estate mean there are more people in the forest and this constrains some of Gloria’s plans. Daniel’s sister, Samantha is a partner in Heritage Adventures, a company who helps tourists find their pasts, and she in turn upsets some of Gloria’s activities. Over time the various parties clash through misunderstandings, jealousy, confessions, and fights and ultimately murder.
