Storyline

Leeds, Yorkshire, England in the late 1950s :- Betty lives in a cold,damp flat in a large Victorian house with her husband Donald and baby son Mark. Donald is loving and industrious and anxious to make enough money to get them moved into their own house but Betty sees him as unromantic. Another young couple move into the house, Moira and her Polish husband known as Craze. Craze has some very unsavoury friends and a distinct dark side. However when Betty and her sister are at the local dance-hall she agrees to dance with him. They then begin a sexual affair which is brought to an abrupt halt when Moira shoots him dead.
