A dark midwinter's night. The Swan, an ancient inn on the banks of the Thames. The regulars are entertaining themselves by telling stories when the doors bursts open on an injured stranger. In his arms is the corpse of a drowned child.
Hours later the dead girl stirs, takes a breath and returns to life. Is it a miracle? Is it magic? Or can it be explained by science?
And who exactly is the little girl? As news spreads of the child who drowned and lived again, three families come to claim her, and the stories of three lost girls (and a missing pig) come to light.
In the background is the river itself: powerful, unknowable, life giving and life taking. There is talk of a ferryman who appears to those who get in trouble on the river... But at the Swan Inn, is anything ever just a story?
