Clara travels to Ireland with her Campbell cousins, where Susan is helping to excavate an ancient bog. The nearby village is divided over the work, and conversation repeatedly returns to a celebrated poet who disappeared more than a decade earlier from the house where the family is staying.
When the dig exposes a body, the supposed archaeological discovery proves far more recent than expected. Clara must connect the corpse to the vanished poet, local hostility and secrets that have survived because the landscape itself appeared to conceal them.
