With their village under threat from a horrendous new motorway, twenty of the local residents meet to plan the defence. The trouble is they can't agree on a solution. Seventy-year-old widow Lorna Furnival views what follows with a mixture of amusement and despair, including a hippy protest and a visit from the local MP. The risk of destruction leads to long-suppressed lusts and loves being exposed whilst the planned closure of the village school gives the schoolmistress a nervous breakdown. But does she hold the key to their salvation?
