Chloe believes a reckless weekend at a music festival has handed her the fresh start she desperately needs. Adrian is magnetic, impulsive and unlike every man who has hurt her before. When he asks her to leave everything behind and move into his remote country cottage, she says yes before common sense can catch up. At first, their new life feels almost idyllic. There is music, wine, a sprawling garden and the promise of becoming someone new far from the gossip and grief Chloe wants to escape. Then the small unease begins. Her car keys disappear. A room is kept locked. Adrian refuses to talk about the woman who came before her. His closest friends exchange looks they will not explain, and a silent child seems to know things about the cottage that no one else will admit. The more Chloe tries to understand the man she loves, the more isolated she becomes, and the more Adrian's charm starts to look like control. But Chloe has secrets of her own, including a past she has never truly escaped and a loss that still shapes every choice she makes. In a place with no reliable phone signal and a forest pressing close to the garden, curiosity quickly becomes dangerous. Every discovery pulls Chloe deeper into a web of obsession, buried history and loyalties that were formed long before she arrived. She came to the countryside to rebuild her life. Now she must decide whether the truth about Adrian will save her, destroy her, or reveal that the most dangerous secrets in the cottage are not all his.
