Bath, 2007. For the last 65 years, Will has believed that his wife Elsa vanished without trace on the night of an air raid on the city. Lately, he has been seen in his garden at night, calling out for her.

The trouble is, no one has heard of Elsa. And there are no records anywhere to suggest that Will was ever married to anyone.
