It was the night she almost died.

Newly divorced and feeling a little lost, Jane Trevally agrees to accompany a man she doesnt know to his house in the darkest corner of Hampstead Heath.

Shes offered a drink. She steps inside.

And then she hears a scream.

Jane runs.

Twenty five years later, Jane finds herself outside the same house, this time to return a dog whos been found near her home. A dog whose owner has just been reported missing.

A fleeting glimpse of a haunted looking woman through the window sends Jane on a mission to uncover the houses secrets - secrets more terrifying than she could have ever imagined.

And she cant stop thinking:

It could have been her . . .
