When they arrive back at the family estate, Kote is violently attacked by an unseen force. After recovering slowly and with Froce's gentle reassurance, the two attempt to make the crumbling estate their home while also taking care of their distraught tenants. Each night, Kote finds strange doors and rooms not seen during the day... ghosts and monsters lingering within the halls that wait till nightfall to terrorize her.
