SHE'S LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH, BUT SOMETHING ELSE IS STARING BACK.

Newly trained child psychologist Mina has little experience. In a field full of experts, she's been unable to find work, instead aimlessly spending her days stuck in the stifling heat wave sweeping across Britain. So it feels like a welcome reprieve when journalist Sam Hunter approaches her with a proposition.

Alice Webber is a thirteen-year-old girl who claims she's being haunted by a witch. Living with her family in the remote Cornish village of Banathel, Alice's symptoms are increasingly disturbing. Taking this job will give Mina some experience, Sam will get the scoop of a lifetime, and Alice will get better - Mina is sure of it.

But as Alice's behaviour becomes increasingly inexplicable and intense, the dark cracks in Banathel begin to show. The village has a deep history of superstition and witchcraft. They believe there is evil in the world, and they have ways of . . . dealing with it.

Mina is desperate to understand how deep their sinister traditions go - and how her own past may be the biggest threat of all.
