With a bundle of roses in one hand and a walking cane in the other, Lawrence Gray, an elderly gentleman, braves the cold Northeastern winter as he makes his way to Saint James Cemetery. There, he offers the flowers to his wife who passed away forty years ago. Lawrences devotion to his long-dead wife elicits curiosity from Meg Bailey, a neighbor who spies on him from her kitchen window every morning. Megs curiosity hits a peak when town historian, Fanny Brund, invites her for afternoon tea and reveals the mystery surrounding the Grays. In a bid to uncover the truth behind Lawrence Grays guilt over his wifes untimely death, Fanny warps back to the year 1895 — only to unravel a secret that will change Megs life forever. . .
