London, 1871: After ministering to the wretched poor and fallen women of the city, Evelyn suffers a nervous breakdown, and is sent to the hydrotherapy establishment of Wakewater House to recuperate... Over a century later, the imposing building has been renovated into modern apartments, and Kirsten moves in, eager for the restorative calm of the Thames. But her neighbour Manon fills her head with the river's murky past. As Kirsten learns more of Wakewater's secrets, she is haunted by a solitary figure in the river, and becomes ever more desperate to understand what the water wants of her...
