Summer 1944: Bombed out by the blitz, Bethany Merston takes up a post as companion to elderly Alice Summer, last remaining inhabitant of the dilapidated & crumbling Summerhayes estate.

Now a shadow of its former glory; most of the rooms have been shut up, the garden is overgrown & the whole place feels as unwelcoming as the family themselves.

At first, Beth tries to convince her it’s all in her mind but soon starts to unravel the mysteries surrounding the aristocratic family’s past.
