Mark, an eleven-year-old boy, spends his days bored on the Brighton seafront while his mother is ill and his stepfather asks him not to disturb her. When an elderly neighbour offers him cakes and shows him a secret, Mark discovers the old servants' quarters of the house, intact but in ruins. There, the past clashes with the present and dreams invade reality in a story that explores childhood loneliness, the pain of loss and the power of imagination.
