However, as he delves deeper and deeper into the Earl's dark and immoral past, he discovers that not everything is as natural as it should be. 


Soon be begins to realise that something from the Earl's past, from the Earl's father's life, and from many centuries before them, is following him. Haunting him. 


Is this spectre real? Or is this simply a plot to undermine him? As George tries to rationalise what is happening to his life, he must decide whether the only rational answer is the irrational.
