Wartime London, where the 'hot yellow sands of each screen's bring little relief from the fears of the night before and the dead—alive yesterday—still inhabit the city.

A new intimacy evolves among those who have not fled, and the carelessness of people with no future flows through the evening air. Stella is part of this society. Living in strange rooms, she holds on to the past and weaves the present around Robert, her lover, and Roderick, her son.

Then she discovers that Robert is suspected of selling information to the enemy and that Harrison, who is trailing Robert, wants to bargain, the price for his silence being Stella herself. Slowly, the flimsy structures of Stella's life begin to break in pieces around her...
