I do know how to behave - believe me, because I know. I have always known...'

Behind the gates of Temple Alice the aristocratic Anglo-Irish St Charles family sinks into a state of decaying grace.

But crumbling codes of conduct cannot hope to save the members of the St Charles family from their own unruly and inadmissible desires.
