But the couple never made it to their destination. Maria settles in with her dog in a remote house on the moor. She doesn’t use her real name, and why she has come to stay remains unclear. She wanders in thorns, fog and with wild horses. She has decided she is going to outlive her dog. But it soon becomes clear that Winsford isn’t quite the sanctuary she hopes it would be. But what terrible secret is Maria guarding and where is her husband?
