It's the Fifties, and every weekday all of Britain likes to tune in to its favourite BBC radio serial, The Parkers.
No wonder a young man at a loose end, and frustrated by his rejection for National Service, gravitates towards the makers of the programme - to its founder, the enigmatic Verity Orchard, her ambivalent husband Charles, and Cassie, daughter of 'Elizabeth Parker' herself. They all make claims on him - claims that will pursue him down the years into late middle age.
And then there's his cousin, Ian.
