After faking a fall at his house elderly Tom Parfitt contrives to have himself admitted to a care home, telling neighbour Roshana not to visit. On his first day there care assistant Hannah finds him cowering in a corner clutching a torn photo and muttering "There was something missing" whilst the social worker who admitted him, Alison, has fallen to her death from a window. Sergeant Rob Fairholme investigates as Tom is taken to hospital and Hannah goes to his home to collect some belongings. She finds a wealth of old photos and numerous music sheets for the song Scarborough Fair though Tom reacts angrily when she tries to sing it to him. Roshana's sons break into Tom's house but flee when they see evidence of a poltergeist. Hannah returns home to her little brother and mother Jan, who has hit the bottle since being widowed. She has a nightmare involving a veiled woman on a deserted beach.

Tom absconds from the hospital and Hannah, who finds a shell in his room and has nightmares about drowning, believes he has gone to Scarborough. Rob is let into Tom's house by Roshana, where they find more shells, souvenirs of India and evidence that Tom has withdrawn five thousand pounds. Rob also learns that Tom's wife died from a fall from a window. Shirley, another care assistant, tells Rob she saw a ghost of a woman in Indian dress and Rob finds a picture of just such a woman. Later Shirley is found dead, and, as with Alison, it appears that she drowned, though in her house. Rob finds a certificate to state that Tom is over a hundred whilst Hannah takes her little brother to Scarborough and tracks down Tom. They find themselves surrounded by shells and confronted by the ghostly Indian woman, Isha.

As Hannah and Sean flee the ghostly woman, Rob deduces that she was Tom's ayah - nanny - in India in the early 1900s, and joins the siblings in Scarborough, where they find an unconscious Tom. He verifies that Isha was his nanny and always swore that she would care for him - even from beyond the grave - after she drowned in a shipwreck. The party goes to see Loveday Hutton, sister of Tom's late wife, who believes that the ending of the song Scarborough Fair contained the means to lay the ghost. After Isha takes Sean, Hannah is horrified to learn that Tom loves his ayah above everybody else, and must persuade him to sing the last verse to save her brother and get rid of the ghost forever.
