Description
When Shona's teenage daughter goes missing, she's certain her ex-husband is the culprit. Her mother, Greta, is no help as she's too obsessed with being chased by the devil. Her uncle, Jimmy, is fresh out of prison and has never been entirely straight with her. Then there's the shaman living in her shed. All Shona wants is a simple life with her young son, and to get free of Maynard, the ex who's still living in the house. But nothing is ever straightforward and Shona soon discovers that the secrets she buried are as dangerous as the family curse that haunts her mother.
