Cleckleywyke, a town in the West Riding, 1908.The Helliwells, the Parkers and the Soppitts are highly respected pillars of their community ... but not for much longer. Married on the same day in the same chapel, they gather to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. The celebrations are short lived when they discover the vicar wasn't licensed and they are actually not married. In fact, they have been living in sin for 25 years.
