As the Great War rolls on, Lessie Carswell's grocery shop is thriving, even while the community of Greenock experiences tragic losses. Lessie's son Ian reaches fighting age and is sent to Ypres. Her daughter Jess, headstrong and self-centred, goes to work for an upmarket dress shop and Lessie's nephew Peter is in prison due to his refusal to fight. Meanwhile Dorothea, the daughter of Lessie's late friend Anna, is working in a cotton mill, still unaware of the identity of her father.

Brothers James and Innes Lowrie return home to their wives and families after the war, Innes working for a shipbuilder and James returning to sea and the family's fishing business. Sister Bethany Pate and Innes have sons and heirs to go into the family business, but James does not. Innes takes in orphaned Etta Mulholland, adding to his already large family. In 1931, as the new generation take the helm and pursue various careers in Buckie’s fishing industry, some are content to take on the roles their parents have chosen for them, while others rail against these strictures.
