For years, Susan Bennett has enjoyed a rosy life. She married Jerry, her high school sweetheart, loved her job, and looked forward to a future full of dreams and promises of wonderful things to come. But then it all came crashing to a halt. The police show up on her doorstep one day and tell her that Jerry, the man she thought she knew and loved, had been arrested on charges of robbery and murder. Worse, Susan's life could very well be in danger. Her only option was to obtain a divorce, change her name, and move to another part of the country. Her only contact with her previous life was the detective in charge of the case against her now former husband. Now, as Susan Grant, she moves to a town called Hopewell where she can start anew. Soon, she secures a place to live and a good job. She even makes friends with Tim, the handsome local minister. Just as she begins to envision a future free from fear, however, the events of her past intrude to threaten her newfound happiness.

'Murder has took this chamber with full hands And will ne'er out as long as the house stands.' A Yorkshire Tragedy, Act I, Sc. v In 1605, Sir Walter Calverley's murderous rampage leaves a family shattered. The killer suffers a torturous execution... but is it truly the end? A noble Yorkshire house stands forever tarnished by blood and possessed by anguished spirits. Some crimes are so horrific, they reverberate through the centuries. As an unhappy modern couple vacation in the guesthouse at Calverley Old Hall, playwright Clara, and her scholar husband, Scott, unwittingly awaken a dark history. Clara is trapped and forced back in time to bear witness to a family's bloody saga. Overtaken by the malevolent echoes, Scott is pushed over the edge from possessive husband to wholly possessed... Inspired by a true-life drama in Shakespeare's day, this is itself a play within a play: a supernatural thriller with a historical core. Only one player can survive.
