A gothic horror feature film in development, with worldwide sales handled by AMP International.
In 17th century Scotland, three girls accused of witchcraft are rescued and given refuge at a rural monastery. When sinister forces begin to haunt the girls, they come to believe it’s not God their caretakers are worshipping.
