In 1745, Miss Mercy Savage is left an orphan after her notorious, money lender father is killed in a mysterious fire. His infamous riches, and extensive library, are all left to her under a single condition. She  must leave Boston for the town of her parents' origin, a small New England hamlet snug in midst of marshland and swamps. There she becomes the ward to her father's only childhood friend, Cyril Bawden, at his sprawling brick home filled with books and shadows. But there is a dark figure haunting her steps, one that is seeking what is due to him, something her father promised years earlier.

The town was trapped in a hush of anxiety, gripped by fear too profound to express.

Now, nearly 300 years later, antique appraiser Aubrey Dankworth answers an advertisement to catalogue the huge collection of antiques inside Slaughtaverty Manor, and shortly after her arrival, history seems to be repeating itself...

Vicar Andrews is avoiding his brother's funeral by hiding upstairs in the family house, rifling through the boxes that will inevitably go to an estate sale, when he discovers a journal far too old to be his brother's. Possessed by curiosity and eagre for the distraction from the guests he's supposed to console, Vicar finds himself lost in the world of the journal's owner, Winn Peterson - a resident at his very house one hundred years ago. As he loses himself in her increasingly disturbing recollection of events within the house, the similarities between their situations grow to an incoincidental degree. The sudden appearance of the doctor in both Winn's life and his late brother's, as well as the rapid decline of their respective states of health, prove a worrying trend in the dark history of the Andrews Estate. Battling the traumatic memories of his own turbulent past, Vicar begins to suspect that the connection between his brother's death and the unfortunate fate of Winn Peterson are tied together by something far more sinister than a suspicious doctor.
