Synopsis
In the autumn of 1918, an ancient English moat-house steeped in centuries of bloody legends hosts a lively house party. Beneath the historic stone and crumbling brick, tensions simmer among the guests, overseen by the formidable Miss Alethea Heredith. When young war bride Violet Heredith falls suddenly ill on the eve of a neighborhood dance, a sinister shadow falls over the gathering. Isolation and ancestral dread deepen as a brutal, perplexing crime shatters the evening, leaving behind an inscrutable puzzle of dark motives and hidden secrets. As suspicion creeps through the ancient corridors, every guest harbors something to conceal, and the legendary curse of the Heredith family threatens to claim another victim. In this chilling country house mystery, unmasking the truth requires piercing through a labyrinth of eerie silence, ghostly folklore, and deadly deceit.
