The past will find you eventually.
Winter, 1869. Young spinster, Liz Oliver, needs a clean break. London holds too many nightmares, too many of her sins.
After promising her a new life, Liz escapes the city with her brother and his new, rich wife. The three of them set up home in a gothic mansion on the ravaged Jurassic coastline. It should be the perfect place for a fresh start, but life in the country does not come without its demons. As weeks turn into months, tensions between the family and the servants build. Her brother's plans are taking too long to come to fruition. As she struggles to cope with the suffocating isolation and her brother's petulant wife, Liz's nerves begin to fray. When her past finally catches up with her, they snap.
The tormentor from her old life is determined to ruin everything for Liz all over again. With her sanity and very existence under threat, Liz must fight for the future she has been promised.
Will she be victorious?
