Summer, 1940, and in Brighton rumours are rife: any day, the enemy will land on the beaches. But for the Beaumonts trouble lies closer to home.
Geoffrey is made Superintendent of the local enemy alien camp, and soon falters between the imperatives of duty and his fears for his family. His wife Evelyn, appalled by his appointment, seeks to help those in the camp and forms a difficult friendship with a wounded German-Jewish painter.
Meanwhile, their son Philip takes up with other children now running wild as the old order crumbles.
Threatened on all sides and unable to hold together, life for the Beaumonts slowly implodes . . .
