A tale of a tragedy seeping through generations,and a family fractured by history and desire.
On the battlefields of the Crimea,William Gale cradles the still-warm body of his brother. William's experience of war will bring about a change in him that will reverberate through his family over the next two centuries.
In the 1970s,William's descendants invite Stephen,a distant relation,to stay in their house in the English countryside - but their golden summer entanglements will end in a shocking fall from grace.
Half a century later,a confrontation between the surviving members of the family will culminate in a terrible reckoning.
