Synopsis

When single mother Liv, an artist, is hired to paint a mural inside a centuries-old lighthouse on the remote Scottish island of Lòn Haven, she moves there with her three daughters—Sapphire, Luna, and Clover—hoping for a fresh start. Instead, two of the girls vanish, and Liv with them.

Twenty-two years later, a grown Luna returns to the island to finally learn what happened to her family—only to be confronted by a child who might be her long-lost seven-year-old sister, seemingly unchanged by time.

Braided across past and present and steeped in the island's dark history of women burned as witches and the "wildlings" said to take children's shapes, this is an eerie gothic mystery of motherhood, memory, and revenge.
