Above Lake Teresa in the quiet hills of Provence, the new Auberge du Lac
private retirement home opens its doors for the first time. Amongst the
new residents are Charles Drew, a retired policeman with an unusual
hobby and Daphne Ferris, retired secretary, with an apparent dislike for
all humanity. Between the two of them, an unlikely friendship develops;
which holds them in good stead with the arrival of the mysterious Lady
Sophie Vanseer and her husband. But their insatiable curiosity becomes
their undoing, and as everything seems to spiral out of control, their
peaceful retirement becomes a thing of the past.
