2023: Stonesmere will never be the same again…
When a lone gunman enters a primary school in a beautiful Lake District town, the effects of the tragedy radiate through idyllic Stonesmere with devastating consequences.
At the epicentre of the tragedy is Marty, daughter of the teacher who dies trying to protect her pupils. Her actions in the immediate aftermath change the trajectory of her life forever.
As news of the shooting spreads across the country, rumours of inconsistencies begin to surface, festering online. Conspiracy theorists start questioning what happened, and for outsider Trent Casey, this new community offers him a chance to step into the spotlight.
With events spiralling out of control, Marty and Trent’s lives become irreversibly entwined and the true story is gradually revealed. Eight years later, Marty must piece together her memories of that fateful day and face up to the part she played.
Stonesmere, Lake District
The village of Stonesmere is fictional but it is clearly located in the Lake District. What horrors follow seem even worse since it takes place in one of the most stunning places in England.
Locations are either fictional or vague and only as a background device to the story that takes over everything.
