When Harriet goes to stay with a schoolfriend on the Dorset coast, she finds herself becoming involved with a young runaway named Birney, an escapee from a reform school who is hiding out in the sea-caves nearby. As the two become closer, leading to shared confidences and feelings, Harriet also attempts to discover the meaning and history behind an inscription she discovers on a memorial slab near the caves. But when the story of Ambrose Briddle, who died "After Candlemas" in 1890, seems to be replaying itself with Birney, Harriet knows she must act...
