A Christchurch dance hall in the spring of 1950. While Rob and his wife, June, foxtrot, memories of war drift into the melody. Rob is pulled back to another life and another self. Italy. The war. The stories Rob cannot tell June, about his war, he must confess to their friend, Pat. Before Pat makes a terrible mistake. Then suddenly, across the dance floor: a face. Harry. Pat’s fiancé. A sharp memory on the sidelines. It’s time to make a run for it.
