Dandelion House, 1974: Two teenage girls – strangers – make a pact never to tell their secret. Calingarry Crossing, 2014: For forty years, Beth and her mum have been everything to each other. But Beth is blindsided when her mother dies, and her last wish is to have her ashes spread in a small-town cemetery. Nearby is Dandelion House Retreat. With her stage career waning, and struggling to see a future without her mum, her marriage and her child, Beth hopes it’s a place where she can begin to heal. It’s not; but after a fateful encounter with a local landowner, Tom, Beth is intrigued by his stories of the cursed centuries-old house. The more she learns, the more she questions her mother’s wishes. Tom has the answers, but will the truth help Beth? Or should Dandelion House keep its last, long-held secret?
