It is 1946, and Silvana and her eight-year-old son, Aurek, board a ship that will take them from Poland to England to reunite with Silvana's husband, Janusz. After six years of separation caused by World War II, Janusz has built a new life for them in the town of Ipswich, at a small house at 22 Britannia Road. However, the reunion is far from simple. Silvana and Aurek spent the war years hiding in the wild forests of Poland, becoming feral survivors carrying deep, traumatic secrets. Meanwhile, Janusz, who served as a soldier across Europe, is haunted by his own dark past and 'ghosts' from the war. As they attempt to live as a proper English family, the three must navigate the difficult process of healing and decide whether they can ever truly reconcile the people they were with the survivors they have become.
