A Gothic horror mystery steeped in witchcraft and occult menace, where a man investigates his brother's disappearance at a sinister country estate haunted by the legend of a dark witch.

When his brother disappears, a man visits the remote country house where he was last seen. While the host seems outwardly friendly and his niece more demonstrably so, there's a feeling of menace in the air with the overhanging legend of Lavinia Morley, the Black Witch of Greymarsh.
