Constance Haverhill has been asked to act as caretaker to Mrs. Fog, an old family friend who is convalescing at a seaside resort. Constance is soon swept up in the social whirl of the Meredith Hotel and its colourful inhabitants, most notably, Poppy Wirrall. Poppy operates a taxi and delivery service to employ local women and manages a ladies' motorcycle club. Constance soon learns that not everything is as it seems in this pocket of English high society. Soon, the women are forced to confront the fact that the freedoms they gained during the war are likely to be revoked as the country settles into a hard-won peace.
