    Something is amiss within the halls of Elsinore Manor. Something that cannot be defined.
    
    With her husband away on business, Gertrude Bard awaits his return in their manor in Cornwall, England. She spends her days in the company of her three children - Ophelia (12), Rosen (8), and Gilbert (6) - and her husband's younger brother, Claude, who has come to stay with them during the patriarch's absence.
    
    Not long after Claude's arrival, strange and unexplainable things begin to occur. Objects go missing, the piano plays on its own, and Gilbert has a sudden imaginary friend who may or may not be a ghost.
    
    Claude claims ignorance, and Gertrude begins to doubt her sanity. Is the new darkness enveloping Elsinore Manor the product of calculated deceit? Or is the truth something far more sinister and otherworldly?
