India, 1911. Anahita Chavan, from a noble but impoverished family, forms a lifelong friendship with the headstrong Princess Indira, the privileged daughter of Indian royalty. Becoming the princess's official companion, Anahita accompanies her friend to England just before the outbreak of the Great War. There, she meets Donald Astbury – reluctant heir to the magnificent Astbury Estate – and his scheming mother.

Eighty years later. Rebecca Bradley, a young American film star, has the world at her feet. But, when her turbulent relationship takes an unexpected turn, she's relieved that her latest role, playing a 1920s debutante, will take her away from the glare of publicity to the wilds of Dartmoor, England. Shortly after filming begins at the now-crumbling Astbury Hall, Ari Malik, Anahita's great-grandson, arrives unexpectedly, on a quest to explore his family's past.

As Rebecca and Ari begin to unravel the dark secrets that haunt the Astbury dynasty, what they discover will change everything .
