Un pomeriggio d'inverno del 1952, sul sentiero innevato di un piccolo cimitero tra le colline del Bedfordshire, Ben Morris conosce Lucy Baker e sua figlia Mary: una madre piegata ma non spezzata da un'immane tragedia e una ragazza misteriosa, che riaccende in Ben la scintilla della passione. Un incontro, il loro, voluto dal destino, che cambierà profondamente la vita di tutti e tre. Invitato nell'antica dimora edoardiana in cui vivono le due donne, fin dal primo istante Ben avverte la sensazione di trovarsi in un santuario di ricordi e segreti sepolti nel passato. Questa prima impressione viene confermata mano a mano che si va svelando una vicenda di decenni addietro, una storia di immenso amore e di supremo sacrificio la cui eco ancora risuona. È la storia di Barney Davidson, della sua famiglia e della sua vita straordinaria; una storia in cui Lucy ha avuto un parte non piccola, e che ora deve riemergere. Prima che sia troppo tardi...

Dopo mesi di ricerche il Fato mette il ragazzo di fronte a una difficile scelta: continuare a scappare o tornare indietro e fronteggiare i suoi demoni?
