An unexplained death

In stormy West Cornwall, a woman lies dead at the bottom of a waterfall.

A house full of secrets

A year later, her children are possessed by strange and disturbing visions.

A family with everything to hide

Forensic psychologist Karenza Bray agrees to help. Someone knows the truth about what happened to Natalie Tyack. But the more Karenza investigates, the deeper she steps into a mystery, or a haunting. Or worse.

Will any of them escape sane, and unscathed?
