The lives of several families in the Yorkshire Dales revolve around a farm and the nearby village. With murders, affairs, lies, deceit, laughter and tears, it's all there in the village.

Jack Sugden has come home for his father's funeral after a 9 year absence. The rest of the family resent him because his father left him the farm. New neighbours Marian Wilks and her newly retired father Henry, want to build a road through the Sugden farm. Jack has taken a shine to Marian, but has concerns about her father's acid company.
