But Edward is a charlatan and can no more summon spirits than he can make himself invisible. Lured by the promise of money, he reluctantly travels to Thistlewick Tye, only to find the poor woman has died.

When he witnesses the death and sudden revival of a local man, he begins to suspect spirits might exist after all. Is there more to this village than meets the eye?
