When Ambleton is faced with a proposal for a nearby motorway, the mayor (Brian Capron) is quick to reject it in an effort to protect the tranquility of the village. However, forward thinking restaurant chef and councilor John Miller (Jos Lawton) embraces the proposal, seeing it as an opportunity to increase business. The ensuing standoff not only divides the community, but the ramifications ultimately lead to devastation and inspiration, as observed through the eyes of a young restaurant pianist and would-be filmmaker (Michael Dyllan). The story resonates with themes of discrimination, youth unemployment and small town politics.
