JANET: Storm Witch - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

When Carl Ree, a columnist for his local newspaper, meets an Orcadian man, he is given the perfect opportunity to report on his beloved subject of 'mysteries' in the folklore rich heart of the Scottish Islands. His wife, Sally, is thrilled - such a wild, romantic location for their anniversary holiday, the perfect chance for some 'us' time, and a confession.Their problems begin when Carl neglects his phone in the rush to get to the airport; with no access to news they would miss the weather warnings that campers really should hear. With the barometer falling and the biggest storm since 1953 heading their way, some of the deepest, darkest secrets of the Islands begin to stir... Some four hundred years before, a young woman called Janet stood within the red stone walls of St. Magnus Cathedral, accused of the incitement of monsters, devilry and witchcraft. Thrown into an inescapable pit, she would face her sentence the very next day, strangled and burned before the crowd that had jeered and spat at her as the Bishop concluded his verdict. By morning, Janet was gone, her guard perplexed, a mystery unsolved for centuries.Now Carl stood, his torch illuminating the startled face of a young woman, "Go! Flee!" What did she mean? Flee what? Distant thunder rumbled behind him; he had seen her before, only then... she was just a child.
