The Gathering Plot Summary

What happens in The Gathering from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Cassie Grant, a young American woman, travels on foot through the English countryside and ends up in Ashby Wake. Her journey is abruptly interrupted when a car crushes her path, and the driver, Mrs. Marion Kirkman, rushes to get her medical help. The hospital exam reveals that Cassie has suffered memory loss from the accident—she recalls only her name and her homeland, but nothing about where she came from, who her family is, or why she is in England. The doctor explains that trauma can erase memory, and with time and care, she might regain it. Gripped by guilt and a sense of responsibility for the lonely girl she has found, Mrs. Kirkman offers Cassie a place to recover in the Kirkman home.
