The responsibility now falls on her great-niece to apprehend the culprit. In the year 1965, teenager Frances Adams attends an English country fair alongside her two closest companions. However, the trajectory of Frances's evening drastically shifts when a fortune-teller delivers a chilling forecast: Frances will meet her demise at the hands of another. This harrowing prophecy propels Frances into a lifelong quest to unravel a crime that looms in the future, collecting incriminating information on every individual she encounters in a desperate bid to avert her impending fate. Despite her relentless efforts over the years, Frances is met with skepticism by those around her until nearly six decades later, when her prediction rings true, and Frances is discovered murdered, just as she had foretold. Annie Adams has been called to a meeting at her great-aunt Frances's grand country estate. Upon arriving in the charming English village of Castle Knoll, Annie discovers that Frances has passed away. Determined to uncover the culprit, Annie faces a challenge as every villager, with their quirky ways, could be a potential suspect due to Frances's history of uncovering hidden truths. Will Annie succeed in solving the enigmatic secrets of Castle Knoll, or will her quest lead her into dangerous territory? As Annie edges towards uncovering the truth and approaching danger, she begins to worry that she could face her aunt's destiny rather than her inheritance.
