Professor Frederick Lothian, a retired engineer and renowned expert on concrete and modernist design, has secluded himself from the world by relocating to a retirement village. Enveloped by the remnants of his past, he is resolute in his pursuit of misery, yet weary of his existence and the life he has chosen. However, a sequence of unfortunate events brings him and his neighbor, Jan, together, forcing them to confront the consequences of a lifetime of secrets and lies.
