Estranged sisters Lily and Iris reunite to try to solve the mystery of their mother, who vanished twenty-four years ago.

I was eleven and my sister Iris thirteen when we lived in a big stone house in Pennysylvania, USA. I knew life was strange, but it took me years to realise how strange it really was.

The curtains stayed drawn all day and we never had visitors. Our parents had glamorous date nights at home, but afterward the flowers Dad gave Mom would rot in their vases. The house always stunk of rotting flowers and pool chemicals. Dad had built Mom a pool in the basement because he didn’t allow her to be seen publicly in a swimsuit.

Mom ended up fleeing with Iris and me to Australia. But she vanished on a road trip she was taking us on across Australia.

Iris has kept the secret of what she did that night for twenty-four years.

We’re re-creating the road trip that our mother took us on, looking for clues. And I’m going to make damned sure Iris tells every dark secret she’s been holding onto so tightly.

Photographer Isla Wilson is thrilled she’s landed her dream job, but the clients who hired her are getting stranger by the day.

It sounded so perfect – a month’s assignment at the lush Scottish Highlands property of architect Alban McGregor, and his wife, Jessica.

But in the woods, there’s a playhouse with a chilling history. Two years ago, the McGregors’ daughter Elodie was abducted and then died in that playhouse. The townspeople insist her abductor had to be a stranger in their town. Alban refuses to knock the playhouse down, even keeping a picture of it on his wall.

Sensing that the McGregors and townspeople are keeping terrible secrets, Isla plans to discover the truth.

But the closer Isla comes to uncovering answers, the more the danger mounts. And with a dense cover of snow now blanketing the town, all chance of escape might already be gone.
