Synopsis

Two war-weary young veterans have come to a peaceful Yorkshire town to escape the horrors of war that haunt their dreams. But their work at the village church takes an explosive turn as one ignites long-denied passion within the pastor’s young wife which forces the other veteran to face his own darker, inner desires.
