Myrna Fermand attempts to make up for her own loveless childhood by becoming over-protective and defensive when it comes to her own family. The children want for nothing, and have what many would envy as a privileged existence. Freedom, however, and the right to live their own lives, is missing. Karen and Jerry, despite their youth, therefore run away to London only to find their adventure is not what they had imagined it would be. They might be disillusioned, but it does give Myrna a second chance, if only she has the courage to try.
