A lost package reveals family secrets spanning generations, prompting Sylvia Brownrigg to explore her father Nick's and grandfather Gawen's lives. Nick, a hippie and absent father, contrasts with Gawen, an enigmatic Englishman who wrote a novel about lesbian lovers before his mysterious death in Kenya. As Sylvia uncovers their stories, she navigates themes of sexuality, silence, and the impact of divorce, ultimately piecing together her own fractured narrative against the backdrop of 1930s London and California's redwoods.
