-------------------------------------------------

You can run, but you can't hide.

Kate Irving arrives at her grandfather's cottage at Frenchman's Creek in the dead of night with her young son, a small suitcase and little else.

Its scattered community of fishermen, farmers, artists and jetsetters barely bat an eyelid, because theirs is a rarefied world, tucked beneath the lush forest that lines the banks of the Helford estuary, deep in the heart of Cornwall, where life is slow and people generally mind their own business.

Unless, of course, your grandfather happens to be a pillar of the local community.

Kate's left the past behind and guards her privacy and her son fiercely. She's wary of accepting the friendship her new neighbours offer, but their kindness is too great to refuse and she begins to feel she has found her place in the world.

That is, until tragedy strikes, and her new friends look to her for the answers.

Kate soon learns that the past always catches up with you, in the end - the question is, will she be able to face it when it does?
