When her beloved father dies, Vivien Epstein - a 22-year-old hairdresser from Manchester - leaves her hometown for London in the hope of finding Jack Fox, a man she had a brief, but intense, love affair with some months ago. All Vivien has to go on is one letter Jack sent to her father, with the address of a boarding house scribbled hastily on the back, and very soon her hopes of finding him are dashed. Resigned to this fact, she settles into London life, working in Oscar's - a hairdressing salon in Soho - and spending her nights at home with her motherly landlady. But still, she pines for Jack. That is, until she becomes involved in the resurgence of anti-facism through the owner of Oscar's, Barb, and her husband Alan. When Alan takes her to a rally in Trafalgar Square and Vivien finally spots Jack amid the crowds. At long last they lock eyes. And here their story begins again.
