A Gothic mystery-horror built on paranoia and doubt, where a lord's sanity and identity become uncertain as supernatural forces and murder accusations converge.

A lord returns to his manor with his new wife, to hear rumours that he had already secretly returned and had committed several murders. Has he lost his mind, or is something dark afoot ?
