Two apparently harmless women reside in cottages one building apart in the idyllic English
village of Little Camborne. Miss Finch and Miss Swallow cousins have put their pasts behind
them and settled into conventional country life. But when a mysterious foreigner Theodore
Cadmus - from a Mediterranean island nobody has heard of - moves into the middle cottage the
safe monotony of their lives is shattered. Soon long-hidden secrets and long-held grudges
threaten to surface drawing all into a vortex of subterfuge theft violence mayhem . . . and
murder.
