在这部痴呆症惊悚/恐怖片中,因心脏病发作的丈夫突然去世，诡计多端的路易丝前往在爱尔兰的公婆家继承遗产，却发现自己被困在一个令人毛骨悚然的、其前夫的痴呆症患者的家庭所住的破旧的城堡中......
Whilst out on a rowboat with her husband, John, Louise Haloran kills him, and casts his body overboard, telling the family he left on an urgent business trip. Louise's main concern; she can only inherit part of his family fortune if he's still alive. The Halorans are a strange family; still grieving over the death of the youngest daughter, Kathleen who'd drowned in a pond when she was a young child. The family hold an annual ceremony of remembrance, on the anniversary of her death. But this year - with John recently deceased, someone is wielding an axe...intent on murder!
