August 1979. The year a newspaper fell to the wet from the rain street of a village, heralding the countdown to a tragedy that stained with crimson the fresh layers of snow in the cliffs of Oxford.

A boy was forced to take physics classes in his first year of university, but his struggle to balance love and ambition drove his soul to find rest in the beauty of theater and poetry. And that was where he met a talented artist worth sharing his heart with.

Within the society of aspiring poets and actors during the years of the Second World War, a legacy was signed with love's tragic sacrifices and murders. A society made by people who never had the strength to put out the fire that they shared and kept burning inside their chests for eternity.
