19th century, Edinburgh, Scotland. Jessie Lockhart writes to her sister about becoming a doctor's wife. She is terrified that her husband is conducting unprecedented medical experiments on the bodies of the dead. Her letters grow increasingly darker. Jessie believes in ghosts and curses, and she imagines a banshee crying for her in the forest...
Present day. After a quarrel with her fiancé, Stella leaves London. In rural Scotland, she takes a job at the estate of Jamie Munro, a doctor and writer greatly feared in the village. Fifteen years ago, his parents drowned during a yachting trip, and since then, the Munro house has been haunted. Popular belief holds that Jamie conducts experiments on humans. Despite Jamie's infamous reputation, Stella falls in love with him. She wants to prove the rumors unfounded. But she discovers much more, including ancient letters from a certain Jessie.
