Victorian London. Brilliant young barrister Henry Jones and his wife, Lucy, are expecting their first child. Complications develop, and the celebrated surgeon Bryan Trembarth takes Lucy to his private hospice, but Lucy dies in childbirth. Devastated, Henry seeks solitude in the English countryside.
In Heathfield, East Sussex, Henry is stalked by a beautiful young girl. When these mysterious visitations turn violent, Henry flees from Heathfield and returns to the Bar in London. During the most important defence case of his career, he receives information that his child may still be alive.
The trail of these rumours leads him to Scotland. And in discovering the horrific truth of his wife’s death, Henry also learns the value of true friendship—and the possibility of new love.
