The past never stays silent...

When Honey McCarthy inherits a small box of trinkets from her great-aunt Beryl, she expects keepsakes - not secrets. Inside is a confession to a crime committed on a freezing December night in 1940, as bombs fell over Manchester.

Beryl carried it for decades. Now it belongs to Honey.

As the truth begins to surface, Honey faces an impossible choice: expose what really happened and destroy her family or bury the past once more.

Then she meets Levi - charming and enigmatic. He offers to help uncover the truth, but as they dig deeper, Honey starts to wonder whether some secrets are meant to stay buried.
