Terence Cave, owner of Cave Antiques, has already experienced the dual tragedies of his mother’s suicide and his wife’s murder when his teenage son, Reuben, is killed in a grotesque accident. His remaining child, Bryony, has always been the family’s golden girl and Terence comes to realize that his one duty in life is to “protect” her from the world’s dark forces.
