One small family is at breaking point. The children look on helplessly as their mother lies ill with a wasting fever. She cannot look after the baby, and doesn't seem to recognise either her children or her husband.

And when Bryn Pritchard looks for help from the village wise woman, he gets an unexpected response.

'That, in your house, is not Mary Pritchard...The Tylwyth Teg have taken your wife and left something shaped to look like her.'

Should the wise woman's words be trusted? Can she really see the fairy world? Perhaps she offers the troubled family their only hope of bringing Mary safely home..
