Opening
The film is set on Jersey, one of the Channel Islands, in 1945, just after the end of the Nazi occupation in World War II. Grace Stewart, the wife of Charles Stewart (a soldier away at war), fears for the safety of Anne and Nicholas, her children, who suffer from extreme photosensitivity, which means that if they are exposed to direct sunlight for too long, they could die. As the movie continues, the household grows increasingly isolated, and the house appears to be occupied by unseen (and possibly supernatural) "intruders".

After Grace supernaturally attacks the visitors, she breaks down with the children and remembers what happened just before the arrival of their new servants.
