Roscoe's Leap - that's the name of the strange old house where Stephen and Hannah had grown up. For Hannah it was a place where the heating was always breaking down and she was the one who had to fix it. But for Stephen it was a place of secrets, a place where something had once happened to him, something dark and terrifying which he couldn't quite remember, yet couldn't quite forget. When history student Nick Honeyball arrives, Stephen's emotions are thrown into turmoil. Here's a man whose obsession with revealing the patterns of the past begins to unlock the terror that Stephen has kept inside him for so long.
