Synopsis

Two spirited red-haired women, a century apart, linked by blood, by love and loss and the mystery of a child who vanished.Annie leaves her cheating husband and returns to the village in Lancashire where she spent so much of her childhood. Her curiosity piqued by the strange reactions and outright hostility of some villagers, she becomes intrigued by the family story of a toddler who went missing in 1919 and how his sisters, rivals for the farm and for the heart of a soldier, fought to survive the aftermath of his disappearance: one driven by guilt and ambition, the other by duty and love. Drawn into the mystery, Annie finds herself in an emotional minefield and discovers that her own future is inextricably bound up in that of the village.
