In a drunken and disheartened state, Michael Henchard sells his wife at a fair. When he becomes sober again he realises what he has done, and though unable to find his wife and child, changes his ways.

Nearly twenty years later his past comes back to haunt him when his former wife and grown daughter come to him in their need. He takes them in and life seems to be pretty well perfect, but will secrets and Michael Henchard's own passionate nature let them stay at peace?
