A tale of forbidden romance based on a short story by Thomas Hardy. Deserting German hussar, Matthaus Singer (Jean-Marc Barr) falls madly in love with solicitor's daughter Frances Groves (Emma Fielding) whereby she is torn between her duty and her desire. Frances's father (Jack Shepherd) would prefer her to marry the weasly suitor Humphrey (John Sessions). The passion flows but will the heart be stronger than the outside forces set on keeping the lovers apart?

Col Spector writes and directs this British romantic comedy. Gerard Kearns stars as Fran, a 29-year-old Londoner who gets dumped by his fiancee just four weeks before the wedding. Meanwhile, Fran's two best friends, Ben (Chris Coghill) and Jon (Al Weaver), are experiencing the reverse of Fran's predicament: their girlfriends are madly in love with them, but the guys appear lukewarm and are constantly on the lookout for other lovers.
