Susanne and Carl Peters live an idyllic life in pretty St Ives. But beneath the veneer of domestic bliss lurks a dark secret which threatens to destroy everything they hold dear. For the last seven years they have lived a lie, lived in fear of the violence of the past, and now it seems that their worst nightmares are coming true.
For seven years Carl has protected Suzanne from her terrors, but when a series of poison pen letters disturb long-buried ghosts, their carefully guarded world explodes with shocking consequences.
