- Rob returns to Dolwyn, a village, from which he was ousted for thievery, to buy the land so that his master can flood the village to build a dam. He faces opposition from an old woman and her son.
- A peaceful North Wales village is about to disappear once and for all under the waters of a dam that is going to be built by a powerful water company commanded by a city businessman, at one time a local resident of the place. It's time for the simple villagers to take action and try to save the only place they know and love.—Rodrigo Amaro
- 1892. Mr. Davis, now a Londoner but a native Welshman who left Wales twenty years ago, has just returned, specifically to the Welsh village of Dolwyn, as the agent for Lord Lancashire whose company has been building a dam in the mountains above Dolwyn to supply water to Liverpool. Because of unforeseen geological issues, the original plan has been scrapped in favor of the cheaper and expedited option which would require flooding the village and thus purchasing the land and buying out the leaseholders. Outwardly well-off widowed Lady Dolwyn, the owner of the land, feels she has no option but to sell despite having a connection to the village named after her family in being deep in debt. The offer to the leaseholders is that the buyout includes providing housing in a new development being built by Lord Lancashire in the suburbs of Liverpool as well as jobs at the local mill, the townsfolk in this position who band together to accept the offer. This scheme, however, leaves renters to fend for themselves, some like simple living, elderly widowed Merri, born and bred in Dolwyn, needing to envision a life other than the only thing she's ever known for over sixty years. Of her two adopted sons, Dafydd has long wanted to move to Liverpool in following in older Gareth's footsteps, while Gareth himself recently returned to Dolwyn from Liverpool in not liking city life. Gareth has seen and fallen for Lady Dolwyn's visiting niece, Margaret, from afar, but is too shy to approach her to tell her of his feelings. Within this situation, Merri will discover that it is not Lord Lancashire who threatens all she knows, but rather someone else who has a hidden agenda to see the town destroyed. In the end, Merri will do whatever required to protect what is most precious to her, not her cottage, their contents, or her life in Dolwyn, but rather her family.—Huggo
