Stranger Things meets The Picture of Dorian Grey

A tale of living ghosts, reckless experimentation, long buried lies, and second chances

Summer 2025: Amy and her mother Claire arrive in the village of Hinxford Magna, where Claire’s family lived happily until her sister vanished without trace.

The family cottage is now Claire and Amy’s only chance for a new start, but the tranquil village sits in the shadow of Hinxford Court, a long-abandoned manor house whose history is steeped in tragedy. When Amy sees a young man through a window there, he seems to vanish without trace… Almost like a ghost.

Summer 1985: Eighteen-year-old Louise is working at the local pub when a young man passes her a note, claiming that he is being held captive at Hinxford Court. She feels she must try and help him, but what will she risk if she does?

Strange things start happening in Amy’s life. The past seems to be catching up with the present in frightening ways, but Amy knows she is close to uncovering the secrets of Hinxford Court once and for all…
