Despite its reportedly tragic history he buys the house and land - and the dark lake at its heart - marries indomitable but damaged Beattie Darling, and sets about making a home. But will the O'Gradys' love for one another prove powerful enough to overcome the hardships of a life punctuated by loss, and can they escape the lake's mysterious legacies?
