It's July 1981 and the Royal wedding is about to go ahead. In a small Welsh town where her fifteen-year-old daughter Tammy has organized a street party Linda Caddock, recently made redundant and married - when pregnant with Tammy - to wannabe singer and all-round dreamer Johnny, fears for the future. Neighbour Alan wants her to run off with him and she's tempted even though he's no more realistic than Johnny.
