What lies behind the neat manners, politeness and strict morals that govern the British aristocracy since the late Victorian era? Lies, compromises and small deceptions, secrets that can destroy even the most respectable family.

When she married her second husband, the magistrate Aeneas Posket, Agatha lied to him about her real age, claiming to be five years younger. To corroborate the lie, she claims that Cis, her son from her previous marriage, is fourteen instead of his real nineteen. His "precocious" inclinations to flirt, drink, and gamble do not fit in with her mother's lie.
