In 1981 Isabel Lincoln took over as headteacher of Thomas Paine High School after the death of Will Fullwood, the school's visionary founder. Max Truman is her Deputy and he probably had every right to expect that the governors would appoint him as Head. He's adamant that he bears no grudge and supports Isabel. Her Second Deputy is Jack Redfern and it's not long before the strong physical attraction between Isabel and Jack leads to a passionate love affair.
