Jim Smith, ousted from his computer software company, retreats to lick his wounds in an old house in a remote farming county in the West of England. Though he knows nothing of country life, he takes on livestock and crops, a dog and a labourer named John Walker of mysterious and independent habits. One night Jim dreams of a beautiful woman. The dream figure seems to correspond with a portrait on the wall of a neighbour's house, of a famous model of the 1960's, Jean Lampard, who vanished in 1967. At dinner with the local magnate and his wife, Jim sees a ghost. All the certainties and reassurances of modern life vanish, and Jim must deal with forces as old as his fields and woods.
