But Jenny seems to know a lot for a beginner, and Celia needs a replacement for a worker who's away on temporary leave, so she agrees to give Jenny a try. Something doesn't feel quite right, however, starting with the fact that Jenny has no known address. Celia's doubts grow when she realizes that the new helper has seduced handsome but vulnerable head gardener Bill Wilkins. Is Jenny really the innocent she proclaims herself to be? And who are the two mysterious men Celia sees one day in agitated conversation with Jenny? Their relationship with her seems to be anything but cordial, but it's still a shock when Jenny disappears, probably kidnapped by the same men Celia observed.
