But Meredith is clearly in charge. And when Carly finds herself chatting to Meredith`s wrinkly granny one afternoon, she hears a story that she cannot bring herself to believe. A story about an old witch and a willowy young girl - a young life stolen; an eleven-year-old trapped in an elderly body. `Meredith` is not Meredith at all. Meredith is stuck in Granny`s body - and needs Carly`s help to escape...
