After Tessa Piggott walks out on her high-flying city job, she has a fateful encounter with Frank Carver, leading her into becoming the director of a development agency she knows little about.
Tessa rejects Frank's advances, but must rely on him to solve her problems in The Gambia.
Frank sees a unique way for him to get Tessa's attention whilst she is busy with work. However, it only leads to him embarrasing himself while trying to help Tessa win a radio debate with the smooth-talking Charles Tremain.
The death of a colleague causes Tessa to reassess her relationship with Frank.
The tension between Tessa and Frank escalates when he sees his potential rivals at a company function after the two decide to enter into an open relationship, much to Franks annoyance.
Tessa seeks advice from Diane when she learns Frank had a one-night stand whilst she was in Chad.
