Eleanor March inherits a crumbling manor on the English moors, unaware that its halls are steeped in tragedy. Each previous owner met a violent death, and whispers abound that the house is cursed. As Eleanor restores the estate, she begins to experience vivid, dreamlike visions of past lives lived within its walls. These aren't just memories-they're love stories, betrayals, and tragedies that seem eerily connected to her.
A mysterious groundskeeper, Gideon Wells, offers to help Eleanor navigate the estate's treacherous grounds. Gideon's stoic demeanor and deep knowledge of the manor hint at his own ties to its history. As Eleanor grows closer to him, she uncovers that Gideon's family has served the manor for generations-and he knows more about its violent past than he lets on.
When the visions take a darker turn, Eleanor realizes she's not just seeing the past-she's reliving it. A sinister force within the house is manipulating her, drawing her into its web. And when Gideon's connection to a tragic love story in the manor's history comes to light, Eleanor must decide whether to trust him-or if he's part of the curse.

12 parts Complete
In the small, isolated town of Briar Hollow, strange occurrences have begun to unsettle the once peaceful community. People are vanishing without a trace, and those who remain speak of eerie figures lurking in the dark, silent as shadows. The townsfolk are gripped by fear, unwilling to venture out after sunset. At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all. When 17-year-old Emily Weaver's best friend goes missing after daring to explore the manor, Emily is determined to uncover the truth. Armed with a mix of skepticism and desperation, she gathers a group of unlikely allies-each with their own reasons for seeking answers. Together, they delve into the chilling history of Hawthorn Manor, uncovering secrets buried deep within the town's history. As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their journey becomes, as the shadows seem to come alive, watching their every move. In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.
