Vivacious Alice Lacey couldn't be more different from her sister-in-law, the bitter, ambitious Cora. Both women give birth to sons on one chaotic night in 1940, and Cora's jealousy and resentment prompt her to swap her puny baby for Alice's beautiful son. The relationships between the cousins Cormac and Maurice, their parents, Alice's 3 girls, and their eventual husbands and children, combine to give a unique picture of Liverpool in the last 60 years of the 20th century.
