***

Toni, the American owner of a failing gallery, is unexpectedly called to Hertfordshire when she inherits a manor house from a mysterious lost relative.

What she really needs is something valuable to sell to save her business.

But, leaving the New Mexico desert behind, all she finds are a crumbling building, overgrown gardens, and a vast archive in need of cataloguing.

Soon she is immersed in the history of the house: the gardens that seem to change in the twilight; the ghost of a fighter plane from World War two; the figures she sees from the corner of her eye. She must ask herself, what if her heritage has carried lives across centuries.
