June 1933. The Edevane family's ancestral estate in Cornwall sparkles, ready for a long-awaited St. John's Eve party. Alice Edevane, a sixteen-year-old aspiring writer, is especially excited. Not only has she come up with the perfect plot twist for her novel, but she's also fallen head over heels in love. However, as the clock strikes midnight and fireworks light up the night sky, her younger brother vanishes without a trace, and soon the police discover the murder of a close family friend. Unable to withstand such a devastating blow, the Edevanes leave their home forever.

2003. Detective Sadie Sparrow, forced to leave the London police force, returns to her grandfather's cottage in Cornwall. Discovering the abandoned house, surrounded by dense woodland and an overgrown garden, she decides to investigate its history and is told of a missing boy. Meanwhile, Alice Edevane, now a best-selling detective novelist, leads a secluded life in her Victorian house in Hampstead, as carefully crafted as her detective stories. That is, until Sadie begins asking questions about the Edevane family's past, trying to unravel a complex web of secrets...
