Description
Abigail Hodges is a woman whose very presence seems to chill the air around her. Frustrated and seething after receiving a cryptic warning from the local medium, Esme Popejoy, she finds herself returning to her home, only to discover that her servants have mysteriously gone missing. As the atmosphere thickens with tension, the silence of the house becomes disconcerting, amplifying her sense of paranoia.
With suspicion swirling in her mind, Abigail starts to feel an unsettling presence within the walls of her home, sparking her imagination and fueling her anger. The bitterness she feels towards those around her only grows, as she grapples with thoughts of betrayal and hidden agendas. The strange happenings push her deeper into a world of fear and superstition, leaving her to question whether her disdain for others may have summoned something sinister.
Unbeknownst to her, the disappearance of the servants is woven into a larger mystery that transcends the ordinary. As Abigail's hostility intensifies, she begins to realize that understanding her own emotions might be the key to unraveling the increasingly tangled web of her household secrets. Each encounter and revelation pulls her further into a tale where ghosts of the past may haunt her present, ultimately leading to profound discoveries about herself and those she once deemed insignificant.
