Leave it with Me

Tom McAndrew wants nothing more in life than continued success in
running the UK division of one of the world’s companies where he has reigned
supreme for ten years. Even Rod Patten the ruthless worldwide group Chief
Executive is wary of his business skill and craft at making deals.

Tom now appears to be vulnerable, his wife Helen has just died of
cancer and this could be the moment for his enemies to make their move against
him. Rod puts his son Todd to work alongside Tom to learn the business. Todd is
soon making mischief as well as covert deals while Tom arranges for the burial
of his wife, but returns to work seemingly undeterred by her death and as
determined as ever. In the course of sorting through Helen’s personal effects
Tom discovers a private diary that she has kept since they were married. He is
reminded of the early years of their marriage as he built his career with her
unfailing support. She reminisces on the upbringing of their children Victoria
and Anthony who are now both grown up with Victoria expecting a baby. As he
reads further into the diary Tom begins to feel a change taking place within
him. In his absence Todd has put together a business acquisition that he is
opposed to but which is supported by Todd’s father. The battle lines are drawn
for a dramatic climax.

Leave it with me is about Tom’s struggle with a changing self, has he still the will to
see his business enemies off or if The
Diary has altered him irredeemably.
