After her husband faces a crisis on the underground, Sara Ravenscroft finds herself moving to Devon to start a life away from the city. But it is here in the country that the haunting dream which has plagued her since childhood starts to creep into the everyday.  A small girl in a white dress and red shoes starts to appear along the river bank at the edge of her idyllic house - is this just a vision or is there something else to connect them?

Sara’s new village is cold and unwelcoming, its resident community weary of outsiders. The imposing Victorian asylum and the old church with its crowded graveyard only emphasise the unease she already feels. When a movement draws her towards a headstone covered in moss, Sara is compelled to look further, only to uncover a shocking revelation.

Events start to unfold, drawing Sara into a tumbling downward spiral. Does the past hold the key to her dream or is it the present she needs to be wary of?
