It is not long after Leonard Clarke sets foot in Kilportach, a secluded and sleepy Irish town, that strange things begin to move in it's corners. Things that speak of his missing past, of a tragic history laced in death, and of loathsome discoveries laying cold in their recesses. For Kilportach is a town full of hidden places, of uneven buildings with watchful eyes, that forever ponder on ancient things. Leonard is there in search of answers. But as he follows shadows in that unkind town, he discovers secrets that are shrouded in whispers of the very past he is longing to find.
