Martin Polworth is returning to his hometown for a short visit, after many years away. Wandering around town he finds that while some places look the same, they have changed in many ways. In one particular place he witnesses an event that not only is unrecognisable to him, but shows this familiar place in a strange and unrecognisable light. Initially thinking it is an hallucination he becomes convinced otherwise by shadow or ghost like figures that appear for brief moments to torment him. Investigating further what might have happened in the past he meets Lucy Chalmers, amateur historian, ghost enthusiast, and redhead of a determined nature. She is someone, the only one, he can approach with this problem and they work together and grow closer together as a consequence. As they draw closer to solving the mystery they find that they have not been randomly chosen by the ghost. They are more closely connected to the event than they realise and in a way that could be a threat to their growing relationship. Martin can choose to run, like he had from things in the past, or to stand and face the Shadows of Northwick.
