Faith Hope and Glory began following the lives of Hope, Faith (Eunice) and Gloria in the UK in 1946. Three generations of three families bound together by the fate of one baby lost and found on Tilbury Dock. All three are now settled in their lives in 1980s Britain.

By the late 1980s, a new generation of Black Britons is gaining in confidence and seizing their place in Thatcher鈥檚 Britain, making their mark on the political, social, and creative fabric of their home and forming new bonds with other cultures. Faith鈥檚 daughter, Serena-Hope, is navigating a sudden life-changing surprise as her ex-, Errol, re-enters her life just as her daughter Monique is starting to ask about him.
