Three former friends meet a decade after they left high school and each has found a very different path in life. However, it is not their change in circumstances that concerns our characters but the unresolved past, and what unfolds is a web of deception and deceit, anger and pain.

Based on David Low's cartoon character, Major General Clive Wynne-Candy, VC, we back-track over his life, drawing us into sympathy with the prime virtues of honour and chivalry which have transformed him from dashing young spark of the 1890s into crusty old buffer of World War II.
