A mysterious tale set around a traditional British family on the eve of World War Two. Oblivious to the looming shadow of World War II, the wealthy Keyes maintain a confident façade in the British countryside until daughter Anne becomes an unexpected pawn. Her accidental discovery of secret recordings creates a rift in the family.

A creeping dread permeates this pre-war drama. Beneath the veneer of upper-class British life, secrets fester and loyalties fracture. It's a quiet, unsettling descent into paranoia and the dawning realization of global conflict.
