Liverpool, 1937. Jessica is married to Bertie, a mean, patronising man
who she has stayed with purely for the sake of her two young children.
To make up for the love and passion that is missing from her life, she
spends the occasional afternoon at the local cinema, lost in romantic
films. But when an unexpected glass of champagne is offered to her in a
Liverpool hotel, the consequences turn out to be shattering. When Bertie
discovers his wife's deceit, he is ruthless in his revenge. He sells
their house and disappears with her beloved children, leaving Jessica
devastated and alone. Will she be able to make a life for herself,
despite her broken heart?
