Summary

In the summer of 1947, John Harper and his girlfriend Jill are driving along the south coast on their way to lectures at Brighton Art College. Suddenly, a forbidding black cloud moves in from the sea and envelopes them. Actually an immense area of gravitation, the malevolent mass has the effect of transporting Jill back to 1887. Desperately wanting to return home, Jill must also be careful to maintain the secrecy of her past - especially in a strict society where 'madness' can lead to incarceration. When Jill meets handsome and wealthy landowner Mr Gregson, it is clear he has one thing on his mind: her hand in marriage. Despite everything, she cannot help growing fond of him. With seemingly no way of returning home or being reunited with John, she accepts his proposal. But when all finally seems to be falling into place, she is suddenly given an opportunity to return to 1947 - and her first love.
