Description
A young Geordie cooper Harry escapes war-ravaged post-war Britain in search of new opportunities and adventure. He gets lucky, is recruited by the Hong Kong Police Force, and enjoys the trappings of an expatriate lifestyle. In the hot and sweaty, smoked-filled bars of Tsim Sha Tsui, he meets an attractive and vivacious Chinese dancing girl called Vicky, who escapes post-war China and the Communists in search of freedom, a new life, and love... They fall in love and marry, producing a boy and a girl. However, their past catches up on them and eats away at their love, only to end in disaster... Vicky and her children are given a second chance to start a new life in London, UK, surviving as a single parent in the difficult times of the early 1970s.
