The year is 1920. Clara Batchelor, the heroine of “The Lost Traveller”, is now an actress with a touring repertory company and is passionately in love with the wholly unsuitable Stephen Tye. When Stephen betrays her, Clara betrays herself by agreeing to marry Archie, the fiancé she discarded four years before. A friendship but not a love match, marriage is a desperate attempt by Clara to rekindle the safety of childhood. But neither of them is children anymore nor their dream sugar house begins to dissolve.
