Description
In the spring of 1366, the quiet town of Beverley, England, is unsettled by the mysterious arrival of a ghostly pale young woman. She boldly asserts that she is the resurrected Joanna Calve, a figure entwined with the town’s history and secrets. With her compelling presence, she draws attention and skepticism alike, forcing the townsfolk to grapple with the unsettling implications of her claim.
As whispers of the supernatural spread, the tension between faith and fear heightens. The community faces not only the enigmatic stranger but also its own hidden truths and the consequences of long-buried sins. Amidst the turbulent backdrop of medieval life, the characters navigate their loyalties and beliefs, ultimately leading to a reckoning that challenges the very fabric of their existence.
