Synopsis

Alone and isolated, Elspeth Swansome accepts a nanny position on the remote Scottish island of Skelthsea. Her young charge, Mary, has been silent since the mysterious death of her twin and the disappearance of their previous nanny. As Elspeth investigates the strange occurrences—from eerie lullabies to unexplained dolls and a faint whistling in the night—she finds herself trapped by the encroaching winter. She must uncover whether the house is haunted by spirits or by the dark secrets of its living inhabitants.
