Nick Thompson is a young man finding his way in life. He returned to south Wales in the early autumn of 1970 in search of love, but discovered the girl of his dreams didn't love him. Things changed dramatically 6 months later when Nick made a substantial amount of money over night, by then he too had changed. Linda is doing the chasing now, and Nick discovers a previously unknown sly and devious side to her character. A trait he's more than happy to meet her head on with. Fighting his emotions the young man becomes involved in a murder case where he meets the colourful Beth Rhys, a white witch. They clash because Beth tells Nick a few home truths, and he in turn rubs her up the wrong way because of her beliefs. They discover more about one another than they'd wished for, which leads to some amusing confrontations. However, they share a common belief that drives them relentlessly forward-sometimes blindly, the glory of solving a one hundred year old murder.
