Orphan Mary is sent to live with her uncle in his large house. He is still in mourning for his late wife so spends as little time there as possible. Only the chambermaid has any time for Mary and tells her of a walled garden within the grounds of the house that nobody has been in for some time.
Can Mary find a way in and what will she discover if she does. What secrets lie within the rest of the house?
