After a difficult year, GP Jess and her husband Rob decide to take a much-needed break, escaping with their two children to a rented cottage in Dorset for the summer. The coastal retreat promises a fresh start, a break from their high-pressure London lives, and a chance to reconnect as a family. Jess, initially skeptical, soon begins to embrace the slower pace, the fresh sea air, and the promise of a peaceful holiday. However, their seemingly idyllic getaway takes a turn when they meet a neighbor who warns them about troubling events in the area.
