The Blackwood Echo

Synopsis

Detective Miles Corbin, a man worn down by the grim realities of his profession, is summoned to the isolated and fog-shrouded Blackwood Manor. His mission: to unravel the baffling disappearance of the estate's young heir, Julian Vance. But as Miles delves into the labyrinthine corridors of the Gothic mansion, he finds himself confronting more than just evasive family members and scant physical evidence. An unsettling presence permeates the very walls, a chilling force that defies logic and rattles Corbin's deep-seated skepticism. The manor's history, a tapestry of dark secrets and whispered legends, is brought to light by the eccentric local historian, Dr. Alistair Finch, who speaks of ancient rituals and a malevolent entity tied to the land. Miles must battle not only the tangible obstructions thrown up by the secretive Vance family, led by the formidable matriarch Eleanor, but also his own resurfacing guilt from a past case gone tragically wrong, a trauma mirrored in the manor's oppressive atmosphere. As the lines between reality and the supernatural blur, Corbin faces a terrifying truth: the greatest darkness may not be human malice, but something far older and more sinister, forcing him to question everything he believes in his quest for answers and a chance at redemption.
