A true story. Anne's father, William Banks, has left his small-town roots and his family's disreputable secrets for anonymous Leeds. There he prospers, a corn-merchant with a hard head for business, in that proud 18th century town of growing numbers and growing wealth. His wife provides him with daughter Anne, followed by two prized sons and a further bunch of daughters. William visualises himself becoming, through his sons, the founder of a glittering dynasty. But fate intervenes. Daughter Anne achieves her own dream by marrying into a respected and successful family. More good fortune ensues when the desirable tenancy of Nunnington Hall comes the way of her lawyer husband. He too has visions, lofty, agricultural visions that will change the face of an antiquated England and for everyone's benefit. All around them the old ways of life are being assailed by fresh and vigorous ideas. Prosperity and success seem built into the nation's future. Anne's father stays resolute that his name shall live on; and from Anne's ever-growing brood chooses one of his grandsons to inherit his fortune, provided the boy changes his surname to Banks. But the boy has ambitions of his own. The course of dreams, it seems, never did run smooth.
