Alfred White, a London park-keeper, rules his home with a mixture of ferocity and tenderness that has estranged his three children. When Alfred collapses on duty one day, they rush to be with him. His daughter's partner, Elroy, a black social-worker, is brought face to face with Alfred's younger son Dirk, who hates and fears all black people.
