Beth Sheehan thought planning a future with her boyfriend Jason would be the answer to her problems. Now in her twenties, her wild ways have left her increasingly lonely, and Jason signals the promise of stability she''s never had.

When an opportunity arises that will help them secure their dream home, he convinces Beth to grab it. It will only be a few months before he can join her to house-sit, rent-free, in a remote new build out of town.

But something desperate lurks at the heart of the estate. Strange things are happening and, as Beth''s drinking worsens, new friends turn out to be prospective enemies. In a place where secrets abound, the most chilling one of all is about to be revealed . . .

A taut psychological crime thriller by a bright new talent, in which a change for the better turns into a nightmare of uncertainty.
