Mary, seeing a way out from her mother's domineering ways, leaves with her infant son to stay with Patrick, causing Lizzie to disown her. Tragedy soon follows leaving Mary brokenhearted. Things start to go terribly wrong when Patrick shows his true colours. The only comfort Mary has is her three sons, Frank, Allan and Tony, while her neighbour, Cissie, fills many dark moments with her constant wit and banter. After a fatal mine disaster, Patrick's past catches him up leading to lies, deceit and attempted murder, the out come changing Mary's life forever, while Mary's own dark secret has to be told to save the happiness of her son Allan.
