The life of Jemma Jones changes when she moves with her mother and younger brother into a house opposite a cemetery. Their only neighbour has an unpleasant reputation. With her best friend Gemma, she takes her brother on a night visit to the cemetery to scare him, but in the process is drawn to the grave of Karl Muller. Only his name appears on it. Jemma visits it often, finding a sense of peace there. Unknown to her, her visits result in her reaping a substantial inheritance. The windfall causes rumours, and Jemma becomes involved in court proceedings to protect her reputation.
