On an old and near-forgotten New England property, amongst the tangles of a garden that has long-since burst its boundaries, through the shuffled ruins of outbuildings, within the rooms of a majestic but neglected house, a wraith passes the time in solitude. Yes, he has the occasional visitor, and delights in tormenting the prim young real-estate agent tasked with the impossible task of selling the home... impossible because nobody wants to buy it once they learn of the property's dark history. But, there's a change in the wildflowers - and not just the change of seasons - that begins an unravelling of both the past and future of Hardmeadow.
