A promising young painter, Hawkins Shortreed, and his sculptor friend discover an abandoned seaside farm, featuring an Eighteenth Century farmhouse, a barn, an overgrown graveyard, and a dramatic cliff overlooking the ocean. Unbeknownst to them, this idyllic property harbors mysteries and dangers from two and a quarter centuries ago. As they piece together the enigma, they uncover hints of a legendary treasure that brings them into conflict with a powerful adversary. The unexpected return of Hawkins' childhood sweetheart evolves into more than just romance; she connects the artists with various individuals, some benevolent and others sinister, who influence their lives and the fate of a beautiful forest. The stakes rise as they grapple with the question: can the forest be saved? Will they unravel the mystery and navigate the hidden threats posed by their formidable foe? Follow these youthful artists as they confront the intertwining of past and present, their innocence challenged by looming evil.
