A theatrical mystery that uses the reopening of a cursed stage to resurrect an unsolved murder, blending paranoia and ambiguity in a darkly atmospheric setting.

A producer decides to reopen a theater, that had been closed five years previously when one of the actors was murdered during a performance, by staging a production of the same play with the remaining members of the original cast.
