Hudson wanders the bare, lonely downs of Salisbury Plain and the village of Winterbourne Bishop, and listens to Caleb Bawcombe, a shepherd who has spent his life there. Caleb’s memories of his father Isaac, of deer-stealers, sheepdogs, poverty and wild creatures become a portrait of a whole vanishing way of rural life.
