After the turmoil of WWI, a wealthy widow returns to England—and the man who once stirred her heart. It is 1927 and the wealthy widow Emma Jago is returning from Canada to the windswept coast of Devon. While the Great War has left its mark on the place, and her teenage daughter Fleur can't understand her nostalgic reveries, Emma remembers when Matthew Caunter waltzed her around the foyer of a now abandoned hotel. But Devon holds more than sweet memories. As Emma works to reclaim her home, an unwelcome visitor threatens to reveal a secret that could turn her new life upside down.
