“Three Cambridge players in bow ties and black dinner suits ostentatiously posing before a brand new Rolls Royce Silver Wraith.”
Seven-year-old Johnny Walters’ life changes when his Pembrokeshire home is bombed and he is traumatised by explosions. Simultaneously, young Uschi Heidenreich is confused and upset when she is called an SS bastard in her home Bavarian town, Selb. Ten years later, the pair meets briefly, leaving a lasting impact on them both.
As Johnny tries to overcome his severe anxiety and step away from the shadow of sinister Ollie, his former schoolboy idol, Uschi simultaneously tries to unpick the enigma of her mysterious father. Five years later in London, they meet again and embark on a long journey to unravel and resolve their individual dilemmas, together and apart.
