1774, England. Belinda Bainbridge has spent her life in the shadow of her controlling mother, so when her father-in-law dies at The Bridge, she is secretly thrilled. His death means she, her husband Wilfred and their children can relocate to a new home.

But it is not without challenges: the garden is a wilderness, the estate is struggling financially, there are whispers about the mysterious death of a servant many years ago, and rumours of a curse....

And what part do the strange wooden figures around the household have to play in the events?
