Their quiet life is disrupted when "Willie" Somerset Maugham, a famed writer and old friend of Robert's, arrives for an extended visit. As Maugham settles in, he begins to suspect that Lesley's marriage is not what it seems. His suspicions deepen when he learns of her past connection to the Chinese revolutionary movement of Sun Yat Sen.
