It is a freezing day in January 1962, and Dot Simpson is watching the boats at Limehouse docks, engaged in her favourite daydream: the one where a tall, dark stranger whisks her away to a life filled with warmth and love. That night, Dot meets Sol, a beautiful pianist from the Bahamas. Their relationship must stay hidden, for Sol's rich parents want him to marry a social equal, and Dot's father believes black man are no better than the devil. Then Dot falls pregnant, and both families are ripped apart. Sol is forced home, his reputation shredded. Dot is thrown out of her house, to give birth in a convent in secret.
