In London, Willian Harriman, a retired civil serant, contemplates widowhood, estrangement from his children and the collection of antique china. In Shropshire, his lunatic trio of cousins eke out a precarios existence with numberless rescued dogs. The young Janice Harper- the dog walker, shopper for the old and vean cake maker- is sent by them to lodge with cousin William and get a life at last. Meanwhile, floods, pestilance and disease are unleashed upon a reeling countryside.
