After her husband's death, Lady Franklin unburdens herself to Leadbitter - a gallant, hard-bitten ex-soldier who has invested his savings in the car he drives for hire - as he takes her on a series of journeys. He tells her stories of his non-existent wife & children, weaning her from her self-absorption, but also creating for himself a dream.
