Description

The window to the past can never be closed...

1999: After Acklehurst’s grave is vandalised, his daughters are forced to return to their childhood home where they must finally confront the complex and dark dynamic at the heart of their family.

Step inside a captivating tale of two sisters and their secrets, of love, regret and vengeance.
