Synopsis

In the haunting beauty of the Lake District, Danny Kavanagh seeks solace from his past, leaving behind the bustling streets of Liverpool. He finds work at a local hotel and kindles a romance with Emma, a spirited local girl. Yet, beneath the serene landscape, Danny remains an outsider, a solitary figure in a community that's as tight-knit as it is mysterious.

As fate weaves its intricate web, Danny becomes entangled in a tragedy that shakes the very foundations of this tranquil locale. With each revelation, the façade of the peaceful community crumbles, exposing a tapestry of secrets, lies, and hidden crimes that threaten to engulf him. Will Danny find a way to navigate the dark waters of suspicion, or will he be forever lost amidst The Lakes?
