Description
Scotland Road would never be the same. In 1955, government plans threaten to demolish their road and tear apart their community. At the heart of the action is Polly's Parlour café, where residents come together to fight back against the demolition. But as tensions rise, a violent incident sparks a desire for revenge. Frank Charleson, a local entrepreneur who has become a hero after saving the life of a young boy, finds himself drawn to Polly Kennedy. However, his troubled past makes him uncertain about whether he can provide the care that her disabled twin brother and herself need. As Frank navigates his feelings, he must confront the harsh realities of his own history. As the community struggles to come together, Polly faces her own challenges. With her parents gone and a disabled twin brother to care for, she has all but given up on having a family of her own. Can Frank provide the support they need, and will Polly be strong enough to keep their community united?
