Nancy Brandon is on the cusp of a restless summer. With her mother preparing for a lengthy research trip to Europe and her brother headed off to camp, Nancy finds herself caught between duty and the yearning for adventure. She’s a quick‑witted, honest girl whose love of art and curiosity make every ordinary moment feel charged with possibility.
The season promises a visit to her affluent, somewhat mysterious cousin Rosalind, a stay that feels both exciting and unsettling. As Nancy steps into Rosalind’s world, she begins to notice odd coincidences—a misplaced trinket, a whispered warning, a sudden disappearance—that hint at something hidden beneath the polished surface of the summer house.
Drawn into a web of small secrets and unexpected encounters, Nancy’s idealism drives her to investigate, trusting her keen eye and fearless spirit. Listeners will join her as she navigates the first clues of a mystery that could change the course of her carefree vacation.
