Charismatic and boisterous James joins the rebellion while mild-mannered Henry sides with the loyalists. But when James is reported dead, the fragile hierarchy of the family is turned on its head and chaos ensues; “It is one of the worst things of sentiment that the voice grows to be more important than the words, and the speaker than that what is spoken.” ER -
