      Set against the backdrop of the turn of the millennium, the story follows Antony Rose, a veteran of the Battle of Britain, as he navigates his solitary twilight years in the Norfolk countryside. His interactions are mostly with local townspeople, including a butcher and a baker, while he maintains his fitness at a nearby Leisure Pool. The narrative explores themes of aging, memory, and the lingering impact of war on those who survived it.
