Private Larson has inherited from the war a hotel, a prosthetic leg and a 'problem' which has cost him his wife and family and moves out the harbourside village to live out his days in peace and seclusion. Without anyone telling him what to do he can fill his time with reading and painting, never having to talk to anyone or leave the hotel. But before long his belongings start to go missing and there are signs that a mysterious looter is breaking in and stealing from him. Enlisting the help of Freya, the beautiful girl who delivers his groceries, Larson sets out to find the culprit. An unlikely romance blossoms between Larson and Freya and they are soon battling to overcome his 'problem.' One night there is a knock at the door and Larson is shocked to find the Colonel, his old superior – presumed dead – on his doorstep. Having lost his family to the war the Colonel has been travelling the country seeking refuge and Larson and Freya agree to let him stay in the hotel. But, appalled by the lootings and the state of Larson's affairs in general, the Colonel is soon formulating a strategy to restore order to the house, the only way he knows how… The war is over. But Larson's war has just begun.
