Abel travels to London in the early 1960s in search of fortune. Instead, he sees an opportunity to escape the drudgery of his life by faking his death and assuming a new identity. Vera, now a widow, is racked with guilt over her husband's 'death' and takes out her grief on her children, Irene and Vincent. The effects of Abel's decision reverberate across generations: ghosts follow the Paisleys over time and across continents as they wrestle with the burdens of family lore and struggle to forge independent identities.
