Patty is married to John Clare: peasant poet, genius and madman.Travelling home one day, Patty finds her husband sitting, footsore, at the side of the road, having absconded from a lunatic asylum over eighty miles away.

She is devastated to discover that he has not returned home to find her, but to search for his childhood sweetheart, Mary Joyce, to whom he believes he is married.Patty still loves John deeply, but he seems lost to her, obsessed with the idealised image of a woman that she cannot possibly match.

She must try to heal John's turbulent, unhappy soul and restore him to the man she married.
