A woman arrives in the village of
Winsford on Exmoor. She has travelled a long way and chosen her secluded
cottage carefully. Maria's sole intention is to outlive her beloved dog
Castor. And to survive the torrent of memories that threaten to
overwhelm her.
Weeks before, Maria and her husband Martin fled Stockholm under a
cloud. The couple were bound for Morocco, where Martin planned to write
an explosive novel; one that would reveal the truth behind dark events
within his commune of writers decades before. But the couple never made
it to their destination.
As Maria settles into her lonely new life, walking the wild,
desolate moors, it becomes clear that Winsford isn't quite the sanctuary
she thought it would be. While the long, dark evenings close in and the
weather worsens, strange things begin to happen around her. But what
terrible secrets is Maria guarding? And who is trying to find her?
