1852.
Margaret Lennox is offered a position as governess at Hartwood Hall. She quickly accepts, hoping this isolated country house will allow her to leave her past behind.
But Margaret soon starts to feel there's something odd about her new home, despite her growing fondness for her bright, affectionate pupil, Louis.
Strange figures move through the dark.
Tensions rise between the servants.
The east wing sits eerily abandoned . . .
Even stranger is the local gossip surrounding Mrs Eversham, Louis's widowed mother, who is deeply distrusted by the nearby village.
Margaret is certain that everyone has something to hide.
But as her own past threatens to catch up with her, she must learn to trust her instincts before it's too late . . .
