Thirteen years have passed since Kevin Dolby was sent to prison for robbery with violence. In the meantime, his ex wife Pearl Button has divorced him and remarried, determined to protect her son. Then she hears two pieces of terrifying news - Kevin Dolby is up for parole and that her dear friend Bessie is gravely ill. Pearl agrees to take over the care of Nora Dobbs, a young woman taken in by Bessie. Further complications arise when Bessie leaves Pearl her shop - with the proviso that she moves in and loks after Nora there. Kevin is granted parole - he intends to see his son, and nothing is going to stand in his way.
