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.
