The House Sitter – A Dream Job. Right?

The perfect idyll. The perfect trap.

Cecilia works as a house sitter, moving from job to job. After the death of her mother, she has lost her footing and can no longer even afford a room in a shared apartment. Now she finds herself dropped off at the villa of the influential Waldner family, isolated on a tiny island in the Baltic Sea. The perfect idyll - the perfect trap. Because Cecilia is not here by chance: a powerful attraction connects her to Johannes Waldner, the son of the deceased owner. While Cecilia still thinks she is alone in the house, four people make their way to the island. With dark secrets and their own agendas. But would they kill for it?
