In the riverside town of Bedford, four students can hear the haunting voice of a woman singing.

Madeleine%27s angelic voice and striking looks capture the hearts of many. But she only has eyes for club owner, Steve Drayton -- a devastatingly handsome but terrifying man. Then one night she witnesses a horrific crime, and her life is irrevocably changed forever.The kindness and friendship of one girl -- Ellen, rescues Madeleine from utter devastation. But in order to survive, they must flee London, leaving behind those they dearly love, and danger is following them wherever they go.
