- SynopsisHorror-thriller with a comedic edge. American writer Kenneth Magee bets his publisher Sam £20,000 that he can knock off a 'Wuthering Heights'-esque novel in 24 hours. He wants somewhere atmospheric to attempt this, so Sam suggests a long-disused mansion he knows in Wales. Magee drives to this old, dark house, but as soon as he starts writing, he is interrupted by a veritable parade of strange goings-on, and so begins a long night of arrivals, announcements, decisions, deceptions and retribution, and a dark family history involving a young killer locked in a turret room, as a punishment, for forty years, which sentence ends this very night. It all leads to some unexpected revelations. (Synopsis)
