When lightning strikes an ancient crypt, it exposes a devastating wartime secret in this compelling psychological thriller.
1967. In a quiet village in the wild lands of the Scottish borders, disgraced academic Cordelia Hemlock is trying to put her life back together.

But not all Gilsland's residents welcome the two young women's interference. There are those who believe the village's secrets should remain...
