In need of change, they head to sleepy Eden Cove to build a life together. Stuart is helping his uncle repaint the lighthouse, trying to shake the guilt inspired by his wartime work, while Amy is doing her best to be a good housekeeper. But shadows from both their pasts quickly follow them to the sleepy coastal hamlet. 

When Amy is offered a job at nearby Greton Hall, she thinks she’s assisting MI5 stop Britain’s post-war secrets escaping into Soviet hands. But even in this quiet village, things aren’t always as they seem. As Amy is drawn deeper into the intrigue, cracks begin to form in her marriage to Stuart. Can they escape their pasts and find a future together? Or will the darkness overcome?

They’ve come to escape their wartime secrets. But are some shadows too dark to shake?
