The island of Jersey, 1945. The Second World War is over but Grace's husband has not returned from the front. Alone in a remote Victorian mansion, she brings up her children within the menacing constraints of her strict religious principles. Her young daughter and son also suffer from a strange illness: they cannot be exposed to direct daylight. When three new servants join the family they must learn a vital rule: the house must always be kept in semidarkness, no door must be opened without the previous one being closed first. The rigorous order imposed by Grace will be defied. Grace, the children and those around them will take a decisive, fateful step.
