When an antique book dealer finds himself haunted by the ghost of a young boy, he decides to investigate the strange occurrences within his life.
Returning to Scotland for the first time in years stirs up uneasy memories for Adam Snow. He longs for the beautiful Alice, wife of his client, and faces the realisation that he has barely been present for his fragile brother Hugo, who is suffering a mental breakdown. While visiting Alice, Adam develops a fascination for a formerly majestic mansion nearby, Raven’s End. Seeing this as a chance to be closer to Alice, as well as to his brother, he decides to buy the house and finally put down roots.
While working on the renovation and secretly planning a new life with Alice, Adam is plagued by haunting dreams, visions and visits from a ghostly child. Fearing he may be suffering from the same fate as his brother, Adam is determined to untangle the truth and excise the spirit from his life. But his coming to Raven’s End has set in motion a chain of sinister events linked to his past and a painful secret to which Adam’s family holds the key.
