A grieving widow risks sheltering a gentle man – in her haunted house.

When George is tricked into seeking shelter at Hazel House, he is surprised to find it occupied only by a beautiful widow, her small son and two ancient servants. Shunned by the local community, they are intriguing and just a little strange. But then, so is George.

The pull of attraction between George and Francesca seems to stir up the ghost of her late husband, while ignorant moral outrage in the village grows dangerous. George must be up to both challenges.

But when tragedy strikes, can Francesca rediscover her strength in order to leave the past behind and grasp at new happiness?
