Through the 1960`s an increasingly permissive society helps to form young Danny`s sexuality.
An agricultural career in the Yorkshire countryside and an adventurous work and play partnership with Mary a feisty, married woman, brings them real love, success and happiness, until fate takes a hand.
In time, the beautiful, virginal, Julie, only daughter of The aristocratic Master of the Hunt is to be courted according to old fashions and traditions which are foreign to him.
After many years of being a responsible farmer and loyal family man, Danny is tempted by the thrills and excitement of the Horse Racing Scene, and the desires of a rich, vulnerable Lady Owner.
