Sylvie hasn't been back to her crumbling French family home in years. Not since the tragic death of her eldest daughter Elodie.

Every corner of the old house is haunted by memories of her - memories she has tried to forget.

But as the summer heat rises, a long-buried family secret is about to come to light.

Because there's something Sylvie's been hiding about what really happened to Elodie that summer.

And it could change everything . . .
