Synopsis

Modern-day homicide detective Mallory Mitchell has settled into her life in Victorian Scotland, having traveled 150 years into the past to inhabit the body of a housemaid.

Skeptical but concerned for the missing maid, the pair must determine if they are dealing with a genuine haunting or a clever fraud, all while uncovering a mystery far more dangerous than it appears.
