In the opening episode, Anna Bouvene, the Rector's wife, is struggling to make ends meet and cope with the demands of her husband and his parishioners. And if this were not enough, she also has to deal with her son Luke's adolescence and daughter Flora's unhappiness at school.

Things would be a great deal easier if Peter were to get a promotion to Archdeacon. When he is passed over, Anna's frustration with her lot comes to a head. To help raise the money to send Luke to India and Flora to private school, Anna takes a job at the local supermarket, egged on by her eccentric actress mother Laura. Peter, supported by the village, sees this as an act of open rebellion against him and the church. It is left to Daniel Byrne, the new Archdeacon, to give Anna the support and understanding she needs.
