A family's tragedy and joy fill the screen in all six episodes of this epic mini-series as seen on Masterpiece Theatre. Warwick Deeping's best-selling novel is transformed into an engrossing multi-generational saga that recounts the story of decorated Army officer Captain Stephen Sorell, who returns home after the First World War only to face even further enemies ─ unemployment, poverty and his wife's desertion of him and their infant son, Kit. But a father's love and honor demand the greatest sacrifice. After struggling mightily to make a better life for his son, who becomes a doctor, Sorrell is forced into heart-wrenching decisions when his ex-wife reappears, wishing to re-enter the young man's life. Stars two-time BAFTA®-nominee Richard Pasco (Mrs. Brown), Academy Award®-nominee Miranda Richardson (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), and Golden Globe®-nominee Stephanie Beacham (Dynasty).
