This sweeping, rags to riches drama follows the lives, loves and fortunes of the Hardacre family as they move from a grimy fishing dock to a sprawling country estate in 1890’s Yorkshire. It’s a story about family and community, the British obsession with class, and staying true to you and yours in a world that doesn’t always share your values.  

By placing an ordinary family in an extraordinary position, the age-old question is explored - can money ever buy true happiness?
