A teacher goes on a hiking holiday. Unknowingly he had upset a computer whiz-kid pupil before leaving and when he returns he finds his entire life has been electronically erased and everyone thinks he died in a terrible accident while away. With his house sold and nowhere to live, a fellow teacher (Caroline Quentin), who is also by chance the whiz-kid’s mother, gives the teacher a place to stay and a relationship blossoms.
