Life is good. A new home in the countryside, a well-paid job and, best of all, a son for Nick and Kay to rejoice in. To top it all, as little Davy's second birthday approaches, Kay's long-estranged dad comes back into the picture. It seems that not even the storm clouds that are starting to gather over Kay's new workplace can spoil their idyllic family lifestyle. Until that is, they discover that the past hasn't gone conveniently away, and everything that Nick and Kay hold dear suddenly comes under terrifying threat.
