Loosely inspired by the Japanese ghost story Yotsuya Kaidan, the in-demand Hauer-King plays a knight called Edward Carnifex who marries his long time love Eleanor (Froseth), only to get bored of her and instead court a wealthy noblewoman (Heathcote). It is only a matter of time before Eleanor will be forced to take a bloody revenge. Bamber plays Eleanor’s sister Beatrice, and Suter plays Edward’s squire and Beatrice’s suitor Richard.

Suter will next be seen as Inspector Lynley in the BBC reinvention of The Inspector Lynley Mysteries. Heathcote will next be seen in the third season of Paramount + series Tulsa King.
