Less Than Kind opens with Olivia Brown skillfully organising a busy social life for her and her partner, Sir John Fletcher. It transpires that her beautiful home belongs to Sir John who is going through a divorce. In her former life Olivia, now widowed, had a modest lifestyle married to a dentist. It is apparent, however, that Olivia and Sir John are very much in love. Then Olivia’s son, who had been sent away at age 12 when war broke out, returns trying to demonstrate he is now an adult with socialist views and he objects to his mother’s relationship with a man who he considers a fascist.
