Penniless and orphaned, Jemima flees to the remote Isle of Skye, where she takes up a job at a school for girls.

Here, she finds herself tormented by the mystery of what drove her to run away from her home.

Then Jemima receives a box of Frozen Charlotte dolls and she begins to remember - a séance with the dolls, a violent argument with her step-father and the dreadful fire that destroyed their home.

The arrival of the dolls also triggers a series of strange happenings.

As the 'accidents' reach fever pitch, culminating in the death of one of the girls and a governess, can Jemima stop the demonic spirits that's possessing the dolls?
