June 1933. The Adeweyn family estate in Cornwall is sparkling, ready for a much-anticipated St John's Eve party. Alice Adeweyn, a sixteen-year-old aspiring writer, is especially excited. Not only has she come up with the perfect plot twist for her novel, she's also head over heels in love. However, as the clock strikes midnight and fireworks light up the night sky, her younger brother disappears without a trace, and soon the police find a close family friend dead. Unable to withstand such a devastating blow, the Adeweyns leave their family home forever. 2003.

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