James Findlay (Euan Douglas) is an ordinary schoolteacher who has been estranged from his mother for years and returns to her home to settle her estate with the Solicitor (Alan Ireby). This unsettles his friend Allen Milton (Jamie Scott Gordon), who is facing his own family crisis as his father, Michael Milton, battles a serious illness. James discovers via letters that he stands to inherit two houses: a small, unassuming one and a sprawling mansion that his mother had warned him never to revisit. He ignores the warning, moves into the mansion, and tries to make sense of everything, even though his earliest memories are faint and he cannot recall his childhood clearly.
