Quinn is in the middle of a midlife crisis. Forty-six, divorced, and having recently walked away from her practice as a psychologist, she fears her best years are behind her. Fiona, Quinn's best friend since childhood, has a plan to get her out of her rut - a trip to Ireland! Quinn loves everything about Ireland: the people, the culture, the scenery and especially a little town called Ballyfrannen. On a whim, she decides to move there, and Fiona is eager to do the same. At first, things seem to be working out perfectly. They find a charming little stone cottage to buy and set about renovating it. Unfortunately, Quinn has a massive crush on the building contractor they hire to do the work. She feels like a tongue-tied schoolgirl whenever he's around. But then, love has never gone smoothly for Quinn. A visit from Quinn's former husband only complicates her life further. Missing her work as a psychologist and desperately needing a distraction, Quinn volunteers a few hours a week at the local mental health clinic. Soon things take a dark turn. It sure seems like someone is trying to kill her. Quinn is not about to let anyone spoil her hard won new life, though. Surrounded by her new friends, Fiona, and a menagerie of animals, Quinn sets out to find some answers. She's in way over her head, though, as she uncovers, one by one, the dark secrets of this bucolic little town.

Quinn and Fiona get an unexpected surprise when Dermot Brennan, the local Garda from the little town of Ballyfrannen, stops by. The grave of a young woman named Hannah Byrnes, who died in the 1930s, has been robbed. He shows them a picture of Hannah, or Pans as she was called, standing in front of the farm that Quinn's family has owned for generations. Is she a long-dead relative?Soon they're told a man has been murdered. Are the two events connected? They suspect they are, especially after learning the man had been searching for the ring stolen from Pans's grave.Events spiral out of control as Quinn hears the dead woman's voice telling her to 'Bring back my ring' and to 'Go to where the rabbit is.' Quinn enlists the help of her friends and grandmother as she delves deeper and deeper into the supernatural world that threatens to take her sanity and maybe even her life.
