Present day: After her affair with a household name is outed under devastating circumstances, Lucy Whittaker has no option but to run. But, accepting a mysterious job in a crumbling Tuscan villa, she soon finds that the Castillo Barbarossa is far from the secluded paradise it first appeared. The owner of the house will never meet her in person. Strange sounds come from the attic. The west wing is kept locked, and the fountain in the courtyard is silent - but has never run dry. 1975: Hollywood starlet's Vivien's million-dollar smile hides a terrible past - and the cracks are beginning to show. When tragedy leads her to Dr Giovanni Moretti, it seems her fortunes have finally changed. Until she meets his sister, and learns that her new husband's family has secrets of its own. Across the decades, Vivien and Lucy find themselves trapped in the idyllic Italian villa - and living a beautiful nightmare.
