After the untimely death of his older sister and her husband, a struggling young architect suddenly becomes a "single parent" for his nieces and nephews. When the opportunity for a better life arises, he must choose between his love life, career, or his family.

An unusual explorer named Gum and his kindly niece adopt three orphans -- Pauline, Petrova and Posy -- and raise them as sisters in 1930s London. But the girls must fend for themselves when Gum doesn't return from one of his adventures.
