When Daf was 11 he made a momentous discovery about his grandparents. The true story of a dark family secret.
in 1931 Daf鈥檚 Nan was five years old; her father took her to her grandparents鈥� house in the mountains of North Wales and told her that her mother was dead. He then left her there and never came back. This event sparked a lifetime of secrets that reverberated across the last century. Today, Daf wrestles with the story; but he鈥檚 not sure whose story it is, where it truly starts or what any of it means. Armed with a cast of actors, and the help of his dad, Daf sets out to explore the skeletons in his family鈥檚 closet.
