- Synopsis:
In a town called Hope on the edge of Britain's empire, desperations clash: the beautiful Dorothea Brook (Jennifer Ward-Lealand) is desperate to free her pregnant sister Rose (Kiri Mills) from the clutches of Fraser (Cliff Curtis), a fortune hunter. A local politician, William Poyser (Michael Hurst), is desperate for cash and thinks marriage to Dorothea will save him. Dorothea hires Lawrence Hayes (Kevin Smith), a rough but handsome Argonaut, to bribe Fraser with jewels and to marry Rose; Hayes desperately loves Dorothea and may marry Rose to stay close to her. But Dorothea has a lover, the ravishing Anne Cooper (Lisa Chappell), who encourages the match with Poyser to give the lovers cover. Are these remedies, each desperate in its turn, going to make anyone happy? - Actors:
