Plot
An idyllic pre-war Summer in the British countryside is ruined for the eldest daughter of the Keyes family when she discovers conspiracy and possibly treason closer to home than she thinks.

Verdict
Stupendous turn from Romola Garai in the lead role but, while this sets up intrigue and atmosphere well, the plot devices creak audibly towards the end.
