In present-day London, Michael Walton makes a quiet, curious pilgrimage to reconnect with his extended family, visiting his older cousins Walter and Oliver Page to uncover a piece of their captivating lineage. His question centers on a concealed branch of the family history, focusing on Anne Keyes, the eldest child of Celia and the family’s late patriarch, Sir Alexander. Anne, an actress by trade, carries the weight of a childhood shaped by adoption and secrecy, a fact that pushes Michael to seek out the truth behind her life and fate. As the conversation unfolds, Walter steers the talk toward a pivotal summer in 1939, when the family’s Norfolk estate became a stage for political tension, private loyalties, and dangerous silences.
