Richard, a seventeen-year-old student, is expelled from Cambridge University for reasons he finds difficult to admit. He decides to spend the Christmas holidays at the family home, even though he is far from being welcomed as the prodigal son. His mother and sister only want him to disappear. An unhealthy atmosphere reigns in the house, accentuated by the mystery surrounding the death of his father a few months earlier. To this gloomy atmosphere are added animal killings and obscene anonymous letters that create a climate of suspicion within the village. With great naivety, Richard begins to conduct an investigation and record all the events in his diary, without realizing that he is stirring up passions and that the net is inexorably tightening around him.
