Magpie Crossing
Logline
Does it count as two-timing if you are in two different decades? Tara Pickering has everything – an impressive house in a quaint Hertfordshire village and a handsome accountant boyfriend, Stephen. She stumbles upon a time portal in her garden, linking between the present and 1978. Tara faces conflict when she falls in love with farm-worker Jack and the 1970's community spirit of Great Hadden, which the village now seems to have lost since the closure of its railway station. Logistics of her complicated life and the choices she makes will have repercussions on everyone around her.
