Growing up in Jericho Street, Tyneside, Jo Elliot has always enjoyed a special friendship with her brother, Colin, and his best friend, Mark. However, when Mark joins the merchant navy, Jo finds herself seduced by Gordon, Mark's ruggedly masculine older brother. It is a secret and short-lived affair: Mark, returning on leave, finds Jo recovering from a broken relationship with a man she now hates and whose identity she will never reveal. Mark's tender love begins to heal her and their affection flares into a deep passion, but then something comes to light that shatters Jo's hopes for the future and ultimately destroys her wonderful relationship with Mark. As war breaks out in the Falklands both Colin and Mark are called up to fight. It's then that Jo realises that the tragic secrets of the past must not be allowed to affect the future. And that life is too precious to spend it without the man she loves - if it's not too late...
