Were in an English village shortly before Dunkirk. "Mr. Tom" Oakley still broods over the death of his wife and small son while he was away in the navy during WWI, and grief has made him a surly hermit. Now children evacuated from London are overwhelming volunteers to house them. Practically under protest, Mr. Tom takes in a painfully quiet 10-year-old, who gradually reveals big problems. William nightly wets the bed. He cant read or write, although he is intelligent and shows artistic talent. He constantly dreads going to hell. Scars cover his back. Mr. Tom soon realizes that his little boarder comes from a horribly abusive home, and determines to provide him a better one. All goes well until Williams mother persuades him to return to London for a few days visit. When Mr. Tom hears nothing from the boy after two weeks, he can endure the loneliness and worry no longer.
During WWII, Tom Oakley, a disgruntled reclusive old man haunted by the death of his family, meets a young evacuee, called Willie, who comes from a home ruled by an abusive, religious zealot mother. The two form an unlikely friendship and Tom is determined to save Willie from his insufferable home life.
