Mid 1980s. Briton Rory O'Hara is married to American Allison. The couple have two children, they live in a large house and are quite happy, but Rory believes that his career in the States is at an impasse. Confident that London is the future, he persuades his spouse to move to England, and now the family settles in a country mansion. Allison receives a fur coat and a horse as a gift, the children are placed in private schools, and former colleagues are happy to work with Rory again. It remains only to find that very long-awaited gold mine.
