In a forgotten British farming town, where rain is rare and hunger is common, a shadowed promise appears: a secretive factory offering work and wages that could save whole families from ruin.
But no one ever comes back.
When Mara (Martha) and Lizzie (Elizabeth) Whitcombe’s father vanishes into that silence — and years later, their mother too — the sisters are left to grow up on whispered warnings and half-burned letters. Desperate for truth, they choose to follow the same path, answering a cryptic advertisement that leads them into a hidden settlement deep beyond sight of the outside world.
