What if one small decision could change the rest of your life?

Eva and Jim are nineteen, and students at Cambridge, when their paths first cross in 1958. Jim is walking along a lane when a woman approaching him on a bicycle swerves to avoid a dog: what happens next will determine the rest of their lives.

As we follow three different versions of their future – together, and apart – their love story takes on different incarnations, as it twists and turns to the conclusion in the present day.
