Born into a hard-working, loving, rural Irish family, the adored and protected Robina, only daughter of Mary and Michael Moran, moves to Liverpool to study nursing and spread her wings. Her innocent beauty captivates Moses, a strikingly handsome man of Jamaican descent, who has a past steeped in betrayal and rejection, so different from Robina's. They fall hopelessly in love and dream of the perfect life as they grow their family - Adamma, Kamaria, and finally the sensitive and delicate Finn, are born, seemingly completing their happiness together. However, Robina quickly learns that a childhood as perfect as hers is not in her children's future as Moses seeks the freedom to search for acceptance and recognition. Robina's close-knit family support her and the children with unconditional love until devastating tragedy strikes, which changes their lives forever. For Robina's children, however, there is unexpected joy after the sadness and an opportunity for closure. Love, in the end, does conquer all.

Far from her home in Romania, Elena hopes to have an education and a career in art and design, something that would not have been possible back home in her mountain village where life was rural and simple, and young girls were protected, nurtured and raised to be good wives. Uncle Andrei had other plans for her, and Aunt Anna? She didn't question or challenge. Local pensioners Beryl and Malcolm have no idea how their lives are about to change when they become embroiled in the goings-on at the end of the street. Fate introduces Elena to Luke, a young policeman, who is determined to save her. Passions and loyalties are stretched to the limit with unforeseen tragic consequences.
