The green hills of the Welsh border offer peace and solace but for Malcolm Gregson they are also a place to hide from the present and remember the past. His wife's funeral gives him time to reflect on his own rather ordinary life, but that life takes a new and confusing turn when he meets an old school-friend, the glamorous and attractive Sonia Fox. He finds himself embroiled in events he doesn't understand and a shadowy world of lies and deceit opens wounds he didn't know existed. Who can he trust? Who can he believe?
