Dans une petite ville anglaise, après avoir épousé la fille de son patron, Joe Lampton, un homme d'origine modeste, pense enfin avoir réussi son ascension sociale. Pourtant au fil des semaines, celui-ci va se mettre rapidement à déchanter. Il constate que son avenir professionnel est bloqué. Il se rend également compte que son beau-père manipule totalement sa vie sentimentale. L'homme est désemparé. Joe ignore même une offre de travail à Londres et reste à distance d'une séduisante animatrice de télévision appelée Norah. Mais quand il découvre que sa femme a une liaison extra-conjuguale, Lampton reconsidère l'offre d'emploi et sa relation avec Norah...
