After the tragic death of his much-loved first wife Anys, Henry falls in love again and brings Frances home to Lytes Cary. She struggles to come to terms with life in the remote rural setting of the Levels in Somerset, and feels the threat of the watery landscape despite Henry's efforts to show her how the landscape he loves can bring her happiness. Henry's father is not happy about his second marriage however, and the tensions within the family grow.
Just as Henry finds a precarious equilibrium, in his intellectual and emotional lives, this sense of balance is shattered by his father's unexpected death and the unleashed malevolence of Henry's step-mother, Joan Young, begins.
