It's 1952 and idealistic architects Arthur and Florence Mayhood have taken on ex-Borstal inmates Joyce and Charlie Savigear as apprentices at their practice on their farm in Surrey, Leventree, inspired by the principles of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

But what starts out as a seemingly straightforward story of good intentions and opportunity rapidly turns into a darker story full of secrets and lies.

And yet through tragedy come lessons learnt and a determination to hold on to one鈥檚 dreams.

Benjamin Wood's unnerving novel abridged by Sara Davies.

Read by Rupert Evans.

Producer: Celia de Wolff
