In order to pay for school fees, Anna starts working at the local supermarket and earns her own income, and is met with hostility and disapproval from her husband and friends. Then a wealthy neighbour moves next door, falls for Anna and tries to persuade her to leave her family with him. Feeling lost and confused, Anna confides in the new Archdeacon, who is surprisingly sympathetic and introduces her to his brother Jonathan. After some time they start an affair.
In a rage, Peter forces Anna to resign from her job, and they begin to slip away from each other's lives.
