Springtime, 1994. Grunge. The Kremlin Accords. Cool Britannia is on the way! For Gary Stone, Rookstone Castle is just another restoration project, until its owner shows him a sixty-year-old photograph that cannot be.

Unsettled, he gets to work, but is soon terrorised at 02:17 each morning by an ancient spirit with an urgent message. Failing to understand her warning, his team become unwitting accessories to a jewel heist. As the man in charge, Gary struggles to envision how things could get any worse – which only illustrates the limits of his imagination.

Besieged by the police and the media outside, hostage to dangerous criminals inside, the hangry builders are trapped in a castle full of ghosts with a psychopath and a Jack Russell named Poppy… and they are running out of sandwiches.
