Synopsis
A woman with a questionable reputation has gone missing in a small English village and her disappearance has shaken the normal relative tranquility of the town. A young woman named Olivia, her aunt, and her aunt's household have been thrust into the middle of the story. She suspects a suspicious, charming, young man named Dan may be involved in the woman's disappearance.
