Secrets lurk in the shadows at Rookswood House...
When Kate goes to look after her estranged sister's children in their creepy old house, she takes a photo of what seems to be a ghost. Frightened yet intrigued, Kate undertakes to uncover the secrets of the house and the two mysterious sisters who lived there over a hundred years before.
But like the illusions of light and shadow in the sisters' strange and disturbing Victorian post-mortem photography, Kate discovers that all is not what it seems. Someone - or something - has their own plans for Rookswood House - and for Kate.
With a potential developer circling around, her teenage niece in danger from an unseen force, and new love on the horizon, Kate must unravel the secrets and lies of her own and Rookswood's past before she loses everything she holds dear.
