Her search for answers leads her to a remote cottage in Wales where Leo went on a school trip before his death. During her stay at the cottage with her friend Wendy, Jill becomes suspicious of the cottage's owner, Mr. Venables. The situation escalates when Jill finds herself locked in Mr. Venables' shed and discovers a photograph of her husband, Tim, from when he was a teenager.
