India had hoped that restoring her grandmother Ruby's, Victorian home, deep in the Sussex countryside; would distract her from the break up with her boyfriend. When she discovers that Ruby's lover Reilly is buried in the nearby churchyard, and died while serving time for murder, India is determined to discover the truth. But the old mill in Isfield harbors a terrible secret, and India soon finds out that one tragedy can easily lead to another.
