After her parents die of influenza, sixteen-year-old Josie is at the mercy of her austere and secretive aunt and uncle. Trapped in the lonely, windswept house on Brindle Point, Josie welcomes the warmth of Eli, a mysterious but kind young man. The gloomy Scottish atmosphere is littered with clues about Aunt Minnie and Uncle Caleb's wrongdoing, as well as Eli's true nature.
