Synopsis: Sandor is an attractive man, an excellent story-teller; little Joe is loving, eager to please and learn. The power of the educated over the simple is enormous. As Sandor's motives become clear the darkness surrounding him is too much for them both and for the beautiful ex-model sequestered in her Suffolk mansion by an obsessive husband. These diverse personalities are drawn into a tight conflict of loyalties. A net of love, of fear and greed and desire, closes around them in a Suffolk landscape so exquisitely rendered as to heighten painfully the contrast between man and the natural world.
