Newly married May is working as a teacher at a children's home when she meets Elva, a fatherless girl whose mother has committed suicide. During an intense London summer, May develops a close relationship with the bereaved child and together with her husband, Nathan, May draws Elva into their loving family circle. There the girl blossoms in their easy affection even though clouds lurk on the horizon. "Fire and Ice" is a story of love, loss and the devastating outcome of good intentions gone wrong.
