January 1919.
A new gardner at a snowbound boarding school catches everyone’s attention.
It’s rumoured he is a war hero.
He’s nineteen-year-old Albert, haunted by Great War experiences and fighting the temptation of one particular prefect.
What they want is illegal.
Being caught would ruin them.
Then Albert’s past finds him, making their quest for a place where love can safely dwell look impossible.
