Plot

An alienated teenager, saddened that he has moved away from London, must find a way to deal with a dark family secret.

Suddenly, moody 15-year-old Tom, and his 18-year-old sister Jessie find themselves relocated from the hustle and bustle of urban London to the sullen silence of wind-swept rural Devon, at a little but neat cottage in the middle of nowhere. Dad is caring and kind, and very much in love with Mum, who has just given birth. However, an accidental glimpse of a disturbing and well-hidden family secret brings Tom face-to-face with shock, denial, and--ultimately--rage. What mystery could be so appalling that it threatens to bring everyone in the family to their knees?—Nick Riganas

Tom (Freddie Cunliffe), an alienated 15-year-old boy, finds the that opportunity for close observation of his father after their move from London to rural Devon and the birth of a new baby reveals a world run through with darkness and pain. Tom is unable to reconcile the life he's known with what he sees with his own eyes, and he blames his 18-year-old sister Jessie (Lara Belmont). Both Tom and Jessie struggle to find some path to truth and sanity as the human forces around them work in polarity with their isolation to either assist them or destroy them.—John Sacksteder <jsackste@bellsouth.net>
