One night changes everything for Toby. A brutal attack leaves him traumatised, unsure even of the person he used to be. He seeks refuge at the family’s ancestral home, the Ivy House, home to cherished memories of wild -strawberry summers and teenage parties with his cousins.
But a few days after Toby’s arrival, a discovery is made: a skull, tucked neatly inside the elderly wych elm in the garden. And soon after, a body.
As detectives begin to close in on them, Toby is forced to examine everything he thought he knew about his family, and himself.
