Suffolk. England, 1964.

The Maginley’s maid, Millie, has ‘disappeared’ and it’s hoped her body will never be found. Desperate for a replacement, the Maginleys turn to Kizzy.

Kizzy is 15, has never had a real job before, nor has she ever been to school, but she can cook, she can clean, she can play the part to perfection. She is a devil of a psychic who does not need her mother’s old crystal ball.

The Maginleys hope the new maid won’t be the ‘problem’ that Millie was. They realize, too late, that Kizzy is a waking nightmare: she aims to be the lady of the manor and what Kizzy wants, Kizzy always gets.
