In the autumn of 1917, Refrontolo?a small town near Venice?is invaded by Austrian soldiers as they advance into Northern Italy. The Spadas own the largest estate in the area, and orphaned seventeen-year-old Paolo lives there with his eccentric grandparents, headstrong aunt, and a loyal staff. When their villa is commandeered by the occupying army to house its senior officers, the family must lodge them or face eviction.

In retaliation, the household becomes a bastion of resistance, both clashing and cooperating with the enemy troops imposing on their property. As Paolo tries to find his footing in the shifting and complex alliances around his, his once proud family succumbs to acts of jealousy and betrayal, love and hate. Then he is recruited to help with a compromising covert operation, and his life is put in irrevocable jeopardy.
