Julie’s fiancé, Kasim, is desperate for her to inherit Aunt Agatha’s great wealth. Hustled into paying the old woman a visit, she learns that the folly, a tower looming over the grounds of the old manor house, is rumoured to hold a treasure chest. She and Kasim, greedy for the riches, enter the folly and quickly discover there’s more to Aunt Agatha than they could possibly have guessed. As darkness descends on them, danger and death wait in the lengthening shadows.
