Blissfully happy in her new marriage to Henry, Emma has agreed to give up a successful career on Wall Street to return to England and give her 6-year-old son, Thomas, a new life. Henry has already chosen and purchased their dream home: an impressive mansion house miles from the city, Parkside Lodge, a house he admits to having felt inexplicably compelled to buy. She is reunited with her sister Flora, her wayward brother and the family solicitor, Clive Pollock, and all should be perfect, especially when she finds she is pregnant again. But Emma is beginning to feel increasingly uneasy. When she is left in the house alone, it seems to speak to her, every room and shadow trying to communicate...eventually drawing her down into the woods at the bottom of the beautiful gardens, and on towards a dead tree which stands out from the others. Emma's dream of a perfect life is turning in to a nightmare. Emma is increasingly alarmed by a series of strange and terrifying happenings in the house. She becomes convinced that the key to unlocking Parkside's secret lies deep in the woods. Emma turns into a paranoid shadow of her former self.
