Tensions are rising in the West Cornwall town of Poltowan.Harry Manchester will not stand by and see his beloved hometown turned into a student ghetto - and many residents and students are relying on him. But Harry's stance sets him on a collision course with Dawn Goldberg, formidable Vice Chancellor of Poltowan University, who is set on doubling its size and cementing her career legacy.As Harry's marriage falls apart, his business comes under threat, and fellow traders accuse him of halting progress, Dawn is battling her own demons, not least the need to live up to her late father's expectations and erase the memory of his tragic death.It's town versus gown, and something's got to give.
