The Forsytes. A family that had everything, power, money, and influence. At the heart of family is Soames Forsyte (Damien Lewis) a rich and successful solicitor in the family law firm. He has everything that would be considered a success, except for one thing- a wife. so when he meets the beautiful but poor Irene Herron he decides to have her. Pushed by her widowed stepmother Irene reluctantly accepts his proposal. But money rather then love becomes unbearable for Irene and she begins a passionate love affair with the poor but handsome Phillip Bossiney (Ioan Gruffudd) fiancé to cousin June (Gillian Kearney). It has devastating consequences not only for the jilted partners, but for the whole Forsyte family, who are cruelly ripped apart. The story continues for the last two episodes, twelve years after all the heartbreak and pain. time has healed the hurt and the family is looking to the future. Love is brewing between to distant cousins, Soames seeks a divorce from his estranged wife Irene so he can remarry and have the son he desperately needs to continue the respected family name. But for one Forsyte the declaration of war brings grief and pain and the family is mortified when Irene takes up with another Forsyte.
