Everyone is lying
But the dead know the truth

Ex-tarot reader Blue is untethered after the death of her vulnerable mother three years ago. In an attempt to confront her grief, and to begin to move on with her own life, she turns to Hope Marsh House. Molly and Joshua Park, the owners, offer a unique grief retreat and Blue commits to a week surrounded by others who understand.

But everything isn't as it seems. A storm is raging outside and one of the guests has disappeared without a trace. And now there seems to be no prospect of leaving.

Blue realises that everyone here has their secrets.

And one of them is a killer.
