Episode 1.02

Sun, May 13, 2018
Written by Beatrix Christian
Directed by Larysa Kondracki

Hester Appleyard's three star pupils and a governess have disappeared. Led by a dogged sergeant, local men search for the missing. Has something supernatural befallen them? Or has a human outrage occurred?

Mrs Appleyard tries to contain mounting hysteria among her pupils by putting the college into lockdown. She believes the young orphan, Sara, obsessively devoted to Miranda, knows something about the disappearance. But Sara's loyalty to Miranda cannot be breached.

An aristocratic young Englishman, Michael Fitzhubert, was the last person to see the girls, and when the search is abandoned, he is compelled to return to the Rock where he makes a shocking discovery.
