When a shy bride arrives at her husband’s estate, she must live beside the memory of the wife who died.

Longer logline

When a paid companion marries a brooding widower after a fortnight and arrives at his enormous house on the Cornish coast, in a world where the housekeeper keeps the first wife’s rooms exactly as they were, a young woman with no name of her own must find out what actually happened the night the boat went down, before the household convinces her she can never replace the woman she is being measured against.
