Kate Carter flees London and her boyfriend to head for Heddlestone, a remote village in the Yorksire moors. A place with an eerie yet erotic charge that soon changes her life. Jake, a strange and beautiful puppeteer, draws her into his secluded sensual world, and before long she's sharing his bed, going deeper into new and at times frightening explorations of love and lust. But Kate is also seduced by Eddie, Jake's brother, and becomes tangled in a second dark relationship. Split between the two men, Kate moves closer to uncovering the truth behind the secrets of Heddlestone, ever sensing danger but not knowing whether the greatest threat comes from ghosts or reality.
