Consequences is a three-generation love story that opens on the eve of the Second World War with a chance meeting in St. James's Park, London. Desperately in love, wealthy Lorna and "starving artist" Matt marry, despite her parents' disapproval. The young couple leave London for a cottage in a rural Somerset village, where Matt, Lorna, and baby Molly are the picture of domestic bliss. But all that happiness is shattered with the arrival of World War II. Over two decades later, Molly happens upon a forgotten newspaper - a seemingly small moment that leads to her first job and, eventually, a pregnancy by a wealthy man who wants to marry her but whom she does not love. It will be her own daughter, Ruth, who will make the journey back to 1941 London.
