Before she has time to take stock of her new situation, her son Derek, an ambitious man in spite of inheriting his father's dullness, arrives with his dreadful family and begins to interfere and dominate her life. After years of being bullied and pushed around, Mrs Caldicot's dormant self awakens, making her determined to take charge of her own life. Forced out of home into care, she acquires a band of strange new friends who look to her for help and assistance.
