But Dr Pinecroft has plans for a revolutionary experiment: he arranges to house a group of prisoners suffering from the same disease in the cliffs beneath his new home. Forty years later, Hester arrives at Morvoren House. She has fled to Cornwall to try and escape her past, but surrounded by superstitious staff enacting bizarre rituals, she soon discovers that her new home may be just as dangerous as her last ... A Daphne Du Maurier-esque chiller set on the Cornish coast.
