When the darkness falls the dead will rise

Successful mystery novelist, Rachel Carlson (Demi Moore), when her beloved seven-year-old son, Thomas (Beans Balawi), drowns at her Primrose Hill house. A year later, despite a record advance for her next novel, she is still too distraught to write. Her marriage to Brian (Henry Ian Cusick), an editor and struggling novelist, has also disintegrated, and her best friend, Sharon (Kate Isitt), arranges for her to rent a secluded cottage in the tiny and remote village of Ingonish Cove in the Scottish Highlands.

As Rachel adapts to life in the charming village, she slowly develops a relationship with Angus McCulloch (Hans Matheson), the handsome lighthouse keeper who lives and works on the deserted island off her coast.

However, just as Rachel begins to feel restored, she begins to receive haunting messages from her dead son, warning her of danger. Unsure whether the messages are real or whether she's losing her mind, Rachel is plunged into a world of madness, murder and the supernatural.
