1995, Ireland. Panic grips the village of Drumsuin when a teenage girl goes missing in the nearby forest. Saoirse is not the first girl to disappear in those woods. And when it's revealed she was playing the Counting Game that day - a ritual believed to ward off the forest's evils - old superstitions send the community into turmoil. One person saw what happened to Saoirse. But 9-year-old Jack won't tell the Gardai. Freya, an English psychotherapist with her own history of grief, is brought in to help the investigators break his silence. As the race to find Saoirse alive accelerates, can Freya make Jack talk? Why is he keeping the forest's secrets? And who is hell bent on driving Freya out of Drumsuin before the truth is discovered?
