When writer Daisy Langrish buys a cottage close by, Henry is immediately attentive. She seems comfortably off-and lonely. He'll make her fall in love with him. He's done it before, several times in fact.But there's something about Henry that arouses the suspicions of Daisy's friends and family and what they discover chills them to the bone...
