Through the long, oppressive summer after his grandfathers death, Lucas becomes aware of dark secrets surrounding the old mans activities during the war. Yet no one will speak openly to him about what happened all that time ago. Meanwhile, racial tension is growing in the neighbourhood, and Lucas is increasingly drawn to Benoit, a smooth-talking extremist who advocates action against migrant workers. And then theres Caitlin - captivating Caitlin - with her beautiful, sad dancing and her strong opinions.
