Phillipe, the son of an ambassador in London, hero-worships his father's butler Baines. His perception of the man changes when he accidentally discovers the secret that Baines keeps and witnesses the consequences that adults' lies can cause.
A child's unwavering devotion to a family butler shatters when a clumsy discovery uncovers a web of adult deception. This quiet tension builds through a lens of profound disillusionment as innocence meets the cold reality of secrets.
