As Edith settles into her new home, she begins to unravel the mysteries surrounding Sir Thomas and Lucille, discovering dark family secrets and supernatural forces that threaten her safety. The mansion is haunted by spectral figures—spirits that serve as a manifestation of the tragic events of the past, including the violence and betrayal that haunt the Sharpe family.
