We began following the lives of Hope James, Eunice Faith Isaac and Gloria de Soto in the UK in 1946. Two generations of three families, bound together by the fate of one baby lost and found on Tilbury Docks in 1946, are taking their place in the rapidly changing Britain of the 1970s. Joy (formerly 'Baby Eunice') was the baby lost at Tilbury Docks in 1946 and found by Gloria and Clement who she believes are her parents. Grown up and settled with her own family now, Joy embraces a sense of home when previously she couldn’t shake the feeling of being lost.
