The narrative unfolds in a remote English village, already burdened by the anxieties of wartime. A series of gruesome murders, seemingly random and inexplicable, grip the community in a vice of terror. Whispers of a shadowy figure, an uncanny presence, and whispers of ancient curses fuel the fires of paranoia.

The villagers desperately search for answers, but their attempts to unravel the mystery only plunge them deeper into a world of escalating fear and relentless terror.
