It's 1963, and Alison Wilson returns home to find husband Alexander dead. Blinded by grief, Alison is bewildered when a woman arrives at the door claiming to be Alec's 'real wife.' Alison sets out to discover who Alec really was.
Alison is on the tail of the elusive 'Dorothy' from Alec's time in India. After speaking to Alec's handler and hearing that their 'relationship' was likely a cover story, Alison traces Dorothy to Yorkshire and insists on the truth.
Alison hears wildly differing theories, one painting Alec as a wronged hero, the other as a cruel fantasist, and she is no longer sure who to believe. A final revelation inspires a profound and drastic new beginning for Alison.
