After years of suffering at the hands of her abusive husband, Emma finally manages to break loose. With a new identity and hundreds of miles from her home in London, she finally dares to dream of a new life as she begins to put down roots in a remote village deep in the Snowdonia countryside.

However, all is not as it seems in this sleepy village, and after reading the epitaph on two gravestones, Emma discovers a tragedy that ripped the tiny village to its core and threatens to unbalance her new friendships.

Meanwhile, her ruthless husband, Philip, a man not to be messed with, is determined to track down his wife and make her pay for abandoning him. Hot on Emma's heels, and with the help of a private investigator, Philip hunts her down, and the final chase begins.
