Description

Été 1914, dans la campagne anglaise. Elizabeth vit l'insouciance de ses 19 ans dans la magnifique propriété familiale de Summerhayes House. Mais derrière les pelouses parfaites et les parquets bien cirés, rien n'est pas aussi idyllique qu'il y paraît. La famille est ravagée par les conflits et les divisions qui menacent le domaine familial. Future héritière de Summerhayes, Elizabeth doit absolument faire un mariage de raison. Lorsqu'elle songe à cet avenir tout tracé, la jeune femme se sent prise au piège, impuissante et résignée... Mais sa rencontre avec Aiden, un jeune paysagiste qui travaille au domaine, va tout faire voler en éclats. Dans la chaleur étouffante de l'été, Elizabeth se retrouve écartelée entre l'intransigeance de ses parents et un avenir incertain. Et la guerre qui se déclare en Europe fait peser des menaces encore plus sombres sur Summerhayes...
