In Ipswich, Freya Jones is determined to break her family's cycle of crime and starts afresh with her new boyfriend. His cliffside home appears to be the perfect escape, but Freya soon senses a chilling darkness lurking within its walls.

As Cate's search for her sister intertwines with Bronte's disappearance, unsettling truths come to light, revealing the lengths to which love and desperation can push these three women.
