The morning hours after a terrible storm, a woman turns up within a remote Cornish village. She calls herself Charlie, but it’s a name she’s only had for the couple of days. She maintains herself to herself, reluctant to integrate with the local people. Because Charlie includes a secret.

Charlie was in prison for providing a false alibi for the murderer. But Lee Fisher wasn’t a murderer to her; he was the person she loved. Convinced of his innocence, Charlie stated she was with him the night a young girl was wiped out. This sacrifice price her everything.

And now she has an opportunity to begin again. But somebody is watching her, waiting for her, wanting to know if she’s really paid the price for what she do.
