Shortly after WW2, a childless couple from a small village in the Moorlands set out to London to adopt a child. The desire to rectify that one missing aspect of their lives results in an unforeseen tragedy. Just over a decade later, a young couple on a night out in Surrey are confronted with a traumatic experience that will have far reaching effects. The two dark occurrences are somehow linked to each other. But how . . . and why? Some of the answers, and more, are hidden in the journal pages of a disturbed teenager by the name of Freddie Dawson.
