King's Farewell

It is winter 1930. Evie Grant is mourning the death of her beloved husband, Davie, and trying to keep the family together in a Glasgow gripped by poverty and unemployment. Her sadness lifts dramatically when John Simpson comes into her life. A charming man, Evie feels powerless to resist his advances and is relieved at the financial security he seems to offer. She marries him despite her family's opposition, blind to the consequences they fear.
