Description

Four siblings, fresh from a cramped city flat, are thrust into the unexpected inheritance of a sprawling, dilapidated estate five miles outside town. The news ignites a mix of excitement and dread: the promise of fresh air and space clashes with the reality of crumbling walls and overgrown fields. Their Uncle Timothy, a steady but weary presence, watches as the siblings argue, dream, and wrestle with the idea of leaving the bustle of urban life behind.

Sally, the youngest, sees the property as a chance for a new beginning, while Max scoffs at the notion of turning the decaying mansion into a home. Alec and Robert hover between curiosity and caution, each weighing the practicalities of a venture that could either free them from their drab routines or plunge them into unforeseen hardship. As they plan a trip to inspect the land, the family’s hopes and suspicions begin to surface, setting the stage for a summer that could reshape their futures.
