Christopher Barrington recalls his childhood in his great-aunt's house, Lady Wainwright. The house, called Belting, was a place that frightened young Christopher, who lived there after the death of his parents. Lady Wainwright disapproved of Christopher's mother's marriage to his father, a film director, but she took the boy in. Christopher grew up as a poor relative and as a spectator of the events that took place in the house. When Christopher is about to become an adult, news arrives that David, one of Lady Wainwright's sons, may not have died in the war. Is it really David who returns to comfort his mother in her last hours, or is it an impostor seeking to claim the inheritance?
