Synopsis
Emilie De Blancheville returns to her family's castle and finds drastic changes: her brother Roderic is now in charge of the estate; the servants have all died and been replaced by new staff members, who are cold and unfamiliar; and her father, Count Blancheville, has been horribly disfigured and now lives secluded in one of the castle's isolated towers. The Count believes the Blanchevilles are under a family curse, which can only be lifted if Emilie dies before her 21st birthday, five days away. When the Count escapes from the tower, Emily realizes her life is in danger.
