North Lodge had been empty for years until Gil and Sophie stumbled across it during a leisurely Sunday afternoon drive and pulled out all the stops to purchase their dream fairytale cottage before it went to auction. It was everything they could wish for, it was going to be a restoration project done with the utmost passion and dedication. Steeped in history and intrigue, they were determined to find out everything they could about the cottage's former owners whilst endeavoring to integrate with the locals in the little sleepy village of Kirkby Mallory. A few bumps in the night and electrical failures didn't seem out of the ordinary, considering the age of the house, until their niece came to visit who enlightened her aunt and uncle about 'the lady' she talked to, the one who had a broken heart and never left because she was waiting for her German POW lover to come back.
