And they have the Corn Exchange, where the best bands play. But the world around them is changing fast. Against the backdrop of the Ban-the-Bomb marches and clashes between mods and rockers, it's time for Linda and Sandra to grow up. As Sandra blindly pursues a marriage proposal from local badboy Danny - who spends more time in jail than out - Linda finds herself disatisfied and drawn towards causes she knows are worth fighting for.

Linda finds herself pulled in two directions and must make a choice, unless the trouble she finds makes the choice for her ...
