Artist Riana Evans falls in love with a dilapidated mansion in Wales, despite its rumoured ghosts, and is delighted when its elderly, eccentric owner sells it to her for a pittance.

But it soon becomes clear that there's someone – or something – who'll do anything to make sure Riana never discovers the secrets the house hides . . .
