In 1919, Tristan Sadler sets out from London to Norwich to return a packet of letters to Marian Bancroft, who wrote them to her brother Will who didn't make it home from the war. When Tristan and Marian meet, there's tension on both sides, which only increases as the day goes on and we hear about Tristan's relationship with Will.
