Portis House emerged from the fog even as we approached, exhibiting itself slowly and gradually as a long, low shadow.... In 1919 Kitty Weekes - very, resourceful, and away from home - falsifies her backdrop to obtain a medical position at Portis House, a distant hospital for military kept shell-shocked by the horrors of the Great War. Covering the shame of these mental instability in that which was once a magnificent private estate, the patients have problems with nervous attacks and tormenting dreams. But something more is going on at Portis House - its plaster is crumbling; its domestic plumbing makes eerie noises; and strange, wintry breaths of air waft through the empty rooms. It's known that the former occupants kept abruptly, but where do they go? And just why do the patients all seem to talk about the same headache, one so horrific that they dare not talk about it? Kitty finds an unhealthy ally in Jack port Yates, an inmate who may be considered a warfare hero, a madman...or possibly both. But even while Kitty and Jack port create a top secret, intimate alliance to discover the truth, disturbing revelations suggest the occurrence of powerful spectral causes. So when a medical catastrophe leaves them even more isolated, they must fight the menace independently, trapped in the heart and soul of a unknown that could kill them both.
