Following the death of his British wife in a tragic accident, Gabe is tasked with bringing his wife's body home to England to rest. Yet, on arrival at her childhood home - a grand yet crumbling gothic mansion deep in the countryside - Gabe realises that his wife had more secrets that he knew, and her family seem determined to keep them.

Gabe decides to stay on a little longer at Beaucroft Hall, certain that Liz sent him here for a reason. But, in trying to get closer to her siblings and to the truth, Gabe is invited to join in on a sacred family tradition that shows him a different side to his wife than one he wanted to know.

Bed-bound and recovering from his antics creeping around the house, Gabe is forced to reflect on his relationship with Liz and her final days. But left to his own devices and confined to a far-flung corner of the house, Gabe begins to question the family's intentions, and his own safety.

Having escaped the family's clutches, Gabe flees to the local village, finally feeling like he has found safety. He sets about securing his own future as the true owner of Beaucroft Hall, but finds himself embroiled in the village's most important day of the year: Hornbearing.

Gabe is reborn following his transcendent experience at Hornbearing, and returns to Beaucroft Hall to make things right. As he tries to reconcile with Beaucroft Hall's dark past, he is drawn to an even murkier present, with tales of a beast in the woods, and a shocking discovery in its lair...

After a shocking discovery in the Beaucroft crypt, Gabe fakes his exit from Beaucroft Hall, determined to spy from a distance and uncover the truth. As he unpicks the family's secrets one by one, Gabe pushes each of the siblings to their breaking point.
