Irene Teasey arrives in Ireland to claim an unexpected legacy from an aunt she never knew - a sprawling estate, tenants, and even a horse. This windfall offers Irene the chance to break free from her controlling ex-husband and forge a new, independent life. But as Irene settles into her new home, she uncovers unsettling secrets about her aunt's past. With the estate's future uncertain, Irene must decide whether to stay and confront the ghosts of the past, or cut her losses and start anew.
