When an American admirer visits celebrated English novelist Mark Ambient at his Surrey home, he discovers a household torn by bitter conflict. Ambient's wife despises her husband's work, viewing his novels as corrupt and pagan. As their sickly young son Dolcino's health deteriorates, the family's artistic and moral disputes spiral toward devastating consequences. This macabre tale explores the deadly clash between aesthetic freedom and rigid traditionalism within a marriage. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
