Stuck in Sanity in the 1960's, On her way to die, Euphemia Keats is drawn to a strange boy over the hill; following him to a junk sale where he persuades her to buy a 1920's Cinecamera. 

When she gets home, she discovers an old film left inside reasoning that she has to get it developed. On top of that, Finn Darling, a boy she knows only vaguely has started showing up everywhere she is.

He has a proposition: join her at Heaven House to make a movie, where a group of actors are rumoured to have disappeared in the 1920's. On the developed film, Euphemia finds footage filmed by a boy who appears only when he stands on front of a mirror. He turns, his face filling with fright before the camera drops to a ceiling of painted angels. Euphemia becomes obsessed with finding the boy, dead or alive. 

But then, at Heaven House- or colloquially, Heaven- she finds something that makes her sink into old vices; imagining a boy in a cloak. She talks to the trees and doesn’t care about blood-soaked flowers.

She thinks absently that the actors sharing the halls of Heaven with her are like a bunch of broken angels. Too familiar with the darkness now. One of them accused of murder; two of them old friends, now barely speaking because of what happened. But they stare at her as though she's Jekyll with a potion in her hands.

Beware the boy who ate the fallen star, Euphemia read before the first of them went missing. She had heard that there were bodies buried in the garden but why didn’t she tell?

Maybe finding a cinecamera with old tape can be dangerous.​​
