Dan Bowmaker, his indomitable wife Peggy and their family, live and work by the sea in Essex. As they grow up, his four daughters begin to go their separate ways -- Connie is to marry a tugboat man, but dreads the sea snatching away her happiness. Love will take well-spoken Annie thousands of miles away to a new life.

Her Cockney boyfriend Arthur doesn't measure up to her ideal -- or does he?
