 A manager hires Ray, off the books, to paint all the power towers in a 15-mile stretch of high-tension wires outside Sheffield. Ray s crew of men are friends, especially Ray with Steve, a young Romeo. Into the mix comes Gerry, an Australian with a spirit of adventure and mountain climbing skills. She wants a job, and against the others  advice, who don t want a woman on the job, Ray hires her. Then she and Ray fall in love. He asks her to marry him, gives her a ring. Steve s jealous; Ray s ex-wife complains that he spends on Gerry, not his own kids, and she predicts that Gerry won t stay around. Plus, there s pressure to finish the job fast. Economics, romance, and wanderlust spark the end.
