Toby confronts the stranger whose name is Oswin,and discovers that the man blames Jenny's new partner, wealthy entrepreneur Roger Colborn, for the death of his father.

Oswin wants to make sure Colburn realises what he has done. As events conspire, Colburn tries to buy Toby off, but Toby sees an opportunity to get his wife back. Before he fully understands the risks he is running, he finds himself entangled in the mysterious and dangerous relationship between the Oswins and the Colborns.The prospects of his survival until the end of the play's tour suddenly look far from good.
