A Gothic Web of Wealth and Deceit
In the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains stands Ashby House, a magnificent gray stone mansion where wealth and wickedness have intertwined for generations. When Camden and his wife Jules arrive at this imposing estate, they're stepping into a world where money has corrupted everything it touches. Camden has spent years running from his inheritance and the memory of Ruby McTavish Callahan Woodward Miller Kenmore-his adoptive mother nicknamed "Mrs. Kill-more" for her four deceased husbands. Now, after a decade of living modestly as a prep school teacher in Colorado, he's reluctantly returning to face the legacy he abandoned. The moment they cross the threshold, the atmosphere shifts. Inside, the smell of beeswax polish, dying flowers, and perpetual woodsmoke creates an unmistakable aura of preserved wealth. Ruby's portrait watches from above the stairs, her emerald-green evening gown and faint smile seeming to follow every movement through the house. Camden's cousin Libby greets them with barely concealed hostility, while cousin Ben offers a warmth that doesn't quite reach his eyes. Something sinister lurks beneath the polished surface of this family reunion-a darkness that's been carefully cultivated for decades.
