A visit to Heddlestone, a remote village in the Yorkshire moors, changes librarian Kate Carter's life. The place has an eerie yet erotic charge and, when Kate is later offered a job in its puppet museum, she flees London and her boyfriend in order to take it.
Jake, the strange and beautiful curator and puppeteer, draws her into his secluded sensual world, and before long she's sharing his bed, going deeper into new and at times frightening explorations of love and lust. But Kate is also seduced by Eddie, Jake's brother, and his wild Ukrainian wife, and she becomes tangled in a second dark relationship. Split between the two men, Kate moves closer to uncovering the truth behind the secrets of Heddlestone, ever sensing danger but not knowing whether the greatest threat comes from ghosts or reality.
