Young policewoman Kathryn Jameson is on holiday in the United States when she finds herself stranded in Farnham, a near abandoned "ghost town" where the one and only primary school teacher has just been brutally murdered. Kathryn soon makes the acquaintance of Mena Birch, a sexy, flirtatious young lesbian who is not exactly backwards about coming forwards and who makes her attraction to and interest in Kathryn only too clear. Dragged into the murder investigation, Kathryn soon realises all the clues point to Brian Lennane, one of the pupils of the murdered teacher... but could an eight year old really do that to a grown man?As Kathryn and Mena's relationship grows closer and the case gets even stranger, Kathryn will find her beliefs, her sexuality and her life on the line... because in this town the boogieman is more than just a story and there is a very good reason to be frightened of what's under the bed...
