His children are said to be cursed to meet a violent end and his passions lead to his eventual destruction"--ContainerThe Mallen girls: "Brought to financial ruin, Thomas Mallen is forced to leave his familial home with his two nieces. When the Radlet brothers, Matthew and Donald enter their lives, relationships become passionately and inextricably entwined"--ContainerThe Mallen secret: "Moving forward twenty years to focus on the plight of Thomas Mallen's daughter, Barbara. Like her father, Barbara is wilful, passionate and she too makes a dangerous choice of lover. When a gypsy predicts danger for Barbara, it is a prophecy that seems destined to be fulfilled"--ContainerThe Mallen curse: "The romance between Barbara and Michael Radlet has floundered.. or has it? Barbara enters into a loveless marriage with Dan Bensham whose family owns High Banks Hall, the Mallens' old home. The grand and gripping story of the Mallens culminates in this brilliant and unpredictable climax to one of television's much loved dramas"--Container
