One afternoon in a French village in the 1920s, Alwyn Tower is visiting another American friend, Alexandra Henry. The Cullens, an Irish couple, accompanied by their chauffeur and a trained bird, Lucy, stop by. Alexandra's servants, Jean and Eva, complete this peaceful scene. But as the afternoon wears on, Lucy upsets this cozy assemblage and therein lies a tale of love and fidelity.
