The fictional small English country town of Roxton boasts two doctors. This tale focuses on the struggles of their wives: Katherine and the 'good' Dr. James Murchison and Betty and the 'bad' Dr. Parker Steele. But, of course, no one is all good or all bad and there are hurdles to overcome, in this case in the form of alcoholism.
