An echo from the past brings the promise of a much different future - a seductive young rogue arrives at the house and asks Billy to return to his roots.

Will he take the first steps towards a new life? Find out in this beautiful love story between two very different men, full of fabulous historical details and a terrific cast of exquisitely drawn characters.
