When eighteen-year-old Michael visits the Hanbury's remote family home, he is captivated by their bohemian lifestyle. Years later, when he marries the strong-willed, beautiful Rebecca, he is secretly hoping to create his own version of that free-thinking family. However, after the birth of their first child, their marriage begins to flounder.

The chance to escape once more to his friend's country house comes as a welcome relief, until he discovers a family changed, and his own romantic notions of country life begin to disintegrate.

In the Fold explores themes of family dynamics, personal aspirations, and the complexities of relationships, capturing Michael's journey with poignant insight.
