The series "Essex County" tells the story of an ancient British family that is gradually deteriorating, with its members living separate lives but unable to break free from their blood ties. Old Uncle Lou spends his days in solitude, young Lester is just entering the adult world of temptations and dangers, nurse Anne dedicates herself entirely to her calling, and resilient farmer Ken continues to work the family land against all odds. However, they are all bound by something greater than their shared surname.
