Henry is heading up to stay with friends at Saint Helena Bay when his car breaks down just outside a country town. Forced to stay over in the town while his car is fixed, Henry is befriended by two local teenagers, Trot & Janine, & the enigmatic & very old Cecilia. Henry looks exactly like Andy Lansell, her fiancee who left to fight in the Great War eighty years ago & never returned. She shares with Henry her memories of Andy & lends him Andy's diary. His car fixed, Henry heads off to Saint Helena Bay for a week of sailboarding with his friends, but his head is full of Andy's story, which begins to unfold in parallel to Henry's story.
