Arthur Copps (Daniel Radcliffe), who lives in London, England, lost his wife during childbirth in his early years. Although his son is clever and smart, Arthur is always immersed in the pain of his deceased wife and cannot extricate himself. The sorrow on his face has not dissipated for a long time. One day, he was sent to a remote village to deal with a widow's estate. In this secluded and even somewhat gloomy village, Arthur was treated coldly by many people. People did not seem to welcome his arrival and always hoped that he would finish his affairs and return to London as soon as possible. Arthur did not insist on others' persuasion and walked into the old widow's old house in the middle of the beach to investigate. During this period, a girl in the village died strangely, and Arthur often saw strange people and scenes around the old house. His arrival slowly revealed the secrets of the village and put himself in great danger... This film is adapted from the best-selling novel by British novelist Susan Hill.
