An aspiring writer lands a tutoring position at his literary idol's estate, but his elation turns to dismay when he learns dark truths on the job.

Over seven hallucinatory days, a village with no name, in an undefined time and place, disappears. Townsman-turned-farmer Walter Thirsk and befuddled lord of the manor Charles Kent are childhood friends about to face an invasion from the outside world: the trauma of modernity.
