Happy and innocent, Dawn's daughter Christie has grown up in the safest, most loving of homes. Yet she can't help feeling as though a dark cloud hovers over Cutler's Cove - a cloud whose origins lie in her family's troubled history and the many questions that no one, not even Dawn, will answer. Only one person can chase away her blues: Gavin, Daddy Jimmy's young and handsome stepbrother.

Then, in one harsh night, Christie's world is changed for ever. She is shocked to. Discover her Uncle Philip's unbrotherly love for her mother, but even worse is the way he is now looking at Christie, his eyes bright with tortured passion. Fleeing to New York City, she finds her real father - a pathetic, helpless has-been.

In Gavin's arms, in the first tender moments of true love, Christie finds a refuge from her painful memories. But The Meadows is blighted by its own dark secrets, and all too soon Christie is torn from Gavin's embrace.

As black storms of evil gather around her, Christie music struggle to break the cruel bonds of the past, and defy the curse that has haunted Cutler's Cove for generations.
