In 1943 Birmingham, England was in the grip on WW2. Four teenage boys are passing through Lord Cobham's estate in the west Midlands. The boys were hoping to hunt rabbits, they had no luck. Instead the boys thought they spotted a bird's nest and one of the boys climbed the tree. He wasn't prepared for the hollow eyes that stared back at him. The boys had found the remains of a woman.
