Sam and Bill, two middle-aged brothers, own and run "Cobblers", a cafe in a seaside town. Their peace is shattered by the arrivals of a runaway, Linda, who is after a job, and her grandmother, Connie, who is after Linda. A terrible coincidence is revealed as Connie is brought face-to-face with George, the husband who left her forty years ago and who is now Sam; likewise, Connie's friend Win finds, in Bill, her errant Arthur.
