We follow a British nanny who is hired to work for a family in the Scottish highlands in an isolated estate with a smart house. The whole book is a group of letters she is writing from jail to her solicitor after she has been accused of murdering one of the children. She recounts in detail everything from the interview to the night of the murder in hopes of understanding what happened.
