Former Yugoslav army captain Branimir Bato Lončar lost his rank for objecting to the mistreatment of prisoners of war from the Dubrovnik front at the Morinj camp, and was banished with his wife Danica to a lighthouse on the Adriatic. Danica's failed pregnancy, which left her unable to have children, deepens their isolation, and they grow ever more closed in among the brambles. Then two young campers, hoping to save their own failing marriage, appear in the yard. Through silences and things left unsaid, the novel confronts Montenegro's part in the Yugoslav wars.
