Mr. Prendergast, an older Anglo-Irishman, is living out his last years in the decaying splendour of his family mansion. As his head wanders through the gloom he finds it peopled with remembrances of his neglected partner, his pale shadow of your daddy, his icily gorgeous mother and Alexander, the boy she so jealously cherished, killed in the First World Battle. With only his ill-tempered alcoholic gardener kept to attend to him, Mr. Prendergast is content to complete his days and nights in such ghostly company. Until young Diarmid will come, keen-eyed and carrot-haired, to disperse the gathering darkness with attention, and the offer of friendship.
