| Synopsis: |
At three in the morning by a disused airfield, Amos Cotswold - jobbing farmer and local councillor - leaps for his life when Spitfires strafe the road. He lands in a ditch atop the corpse of a German prisoner of war. The year two thousand and six. Ghostly repetition? A restless, unburied soul re-enacting its own demise...or powerful interests determined to prevent the redevelopment of the adjacent army camp? Amos is led along a trail of phantom aircraft, fine art, a gangmaster's exploitation of immigrant labour and the renovation of an old steam railway. Hampered by his inherited obligation to the wartime underground movement, Amos finally uncovers the dark reality of what the Second World War bequeathed the country. |
