What to expect

Heathcote, England - 1984

A mysterious figure is sneaking into homes through backdoors and open windows. Known locally as 'the Fox', he knows everything about everyone - leaving curious objects in their homes, or taking things from them.

When beloved Anna disappears, everyone believes the Fox is responsible.

For the villagers, finding Anna will be difficult - but stopping the Fox from exposing their darkest secrets might just be impossible...
