1900. A French and an English boy find themselves living in a dilapidated manor house in the Home Counties. Charles is a would-be poete maudit. Alfred likes Kipling. They share an Alsacien governess with a tragic secret. Bored, struggling to communicate, their games take a dark turn. Spirits are invoked, shadows gather, forewarnings of a time when they will meet again, as young men caught up in the horror of the Somme.
