When Greg stumbles across the beautiful ruins of Graveney Hall, he becomes intrigued by the story behind its destruction. He and his friend Faith are drawn into a quest to discover the fate of Graveney's last heir, Edmund, a young soldier who disappeared in mysterious circumstances during the First World War.

But Greg's investigations force him to question his own views on love and faith, and reveal more about himself than he would ever have imagined.

A beautiful portrayal of love, sexuality and spirituality over two generations.
