Sixteen year old Lizzy Bray works to uncover the dark past of her new home, an infamous Cornish farmhouse the locals call Insane Reno.
When her father’s job necessitates a move from her familiar surroundings in the town of Bude, Lizzy Bray is naturally a little nervous. This anxiety is soon amplified when she learns her family is moving to an infamous house on Bodmin Moor called Insane Reno. This is not at all a comforting discovery, considering everyone who has lived there has been murdered with the exception of two people. One of the survivors, a man with Down Syndrome named Reno, had been convicted of the murders. But, is he guilty?
Lizzy’s mum has an overwhelming fear of the house and refuses to stay there. Lizzy questions her father about what happened there, but he is reluctant to discuss it.
A pleasant distraction from Lizzy’s investigation is handsome farmhand, Jem Trerise. As Lizzy and Jem grow closer, she is introduced to Jem’s rather colorful family.
While Lizzy continues looking into the history of Insane Reno, strange occurrences point to the house actually being haunted by the victims.
The story winds its way between mystery and romance, leading Lizzy to finally discover the truth of the murders, but the guilty aren’t going down without a fight.
