In Buxton, no-one is above the lore.. Teacher Annie Norton is increasingly perturbed by her new colleague Luke, as he barges into her world, belittles his students and despoils the town that she loves so much. She gives him a chance; he dismisses her warnings as foolish Old Wives' Tales. But Annie knows well of what she speaks and soon enough, the very fabric of the town starts to wind around Luke, binding him in ways that he struggles to understand. Annie and her student Will appeal one last time to his better nature but, preoccupied and fearful, he brushes them aside, blowing his last chance of escape. Finally, inevitably, Luke runs headlong into a trap of his own making. With no way out.
