A middle aged couple, Bernie and Martin, spend their first holiday together without the children in rural Brittany where they stay in an old charming stone cottage. They soon settle in and make friends with their elderly French neighbour, Marie. However, strange things begin to take place, such as the discovery of a mysterious music box in the barn which seems to have links with the house’s past. The action then takes us to the cottage during the Second World War where two sisters, Colette and Marie Therese live under Nazi occupation. Their lives are disrupted when a wounded RAF pilot appears at the door. The action alternates between the 1940’s and the present day as Martin begins a journey where he is determined to find an answer to what took place in the house and the consequences that are still unresolved.
