Lorna Brady is a woman from the fictional Irish town of Kilkinure who woke up one morning to find a corpse at home. It is chilling that Lorna does not know who the deceased was, nor does she know whether she herself is responsible for this apparent murder. This is because since being taken from life at the age of 15 and imprisoned in a monastery, Lorna has been suffering from sleepwalking. There, Lorna gave birth to her daughter Agnes, who was brutally taken away, and Lorna never knew her fate. Unfortunately for Lorna, Detective Coleman Akander is also following her now, as this crime seems unrelated to the body she found at home. Ambitious Coleman, with his innate talent, quickly rose to the ranks of Garda S í och á na. His sharp wit concealed a calm sadness, and when he met Lorna, he found himself forced to face his lingering secret. When Coleman was searching for the killer and Lorna was searching for her daughter, their paths collided unexpectedly. Lorna's search for Agnes will allow her to delve deeper into her own past, deeper into the core of Kilkinnor's darkest secrets, as she and Coleman are both searching for the answers they urgently need.
