In a bid to solve the suspicious mystery they have unearthed at the heart of their genealogy researches, two sisters travel to the village where their distant ancestors lived, to try to find out what happened to the elusive Midcuff Worters.
But a simple visit to pick up clues about what might have happened all those years ago turns into something more sinister as the past seems to be drawing closer to them and pulling them tighter into the tapestry of their shared ancestry.
Will Amy and Fran escape from the village before the past takes them over completely? Will they ever find out what truly happened to their mysterious ancestor? Is the haunting of an ancient woodland evidence of a deeper, darker tragedy than even their own?
