Set in a farming community in the Yorkshire Dales in the 1850s, the story follows the fortunes of Tom Moffat, the son of a master shoemaker, Alfred, whose infatuation with Evelyn Hackett, a lady with a past, leads him to disinherit his son, cheating Tom out of his birthright.

Mary, a Scottish Drover’s daughter and her unborn child, are abandoned by her family and owe their lives to Tom, who finds her and provides her with marriage. Their marriage is a blessing for them but ends in tragedy when she is brutally murdered. Grief-stricken, Tom moves away from the Dale to seek work on the Midland Railway.
