In the autumn of 1944, a devastating air raid kills wealthy Gordon Cloade and his household, leaving his young widow, Rosaleen, as the sole heir to his millions.

The sudden arrival of a mysterious stranger named Enoch Arden in Warmsley Vale threatens to upend the Cloade family's expectations and suggests that someone is playing a dangerous game with the truth.
