Prem Sharma, a highly educated Indian Doctor, and Kamini, his beautiful upper class wife, are attracted by the promise of opportunities in the new National Health Service and a glamorous lifestyle in London. They leave India in 1963 only to find themselves sent to a small practice in a Welsh coal mining village instead of the bright lights of the big city. The Sharmas struggle to cope with the culture shock of being educated foreigners in a small working class village, but the doctors gentle bedside manner and understanding of human nature helps win over the local people.
