Edward Greenhalgh

Dissatisfied with the family architectural business, a man and his wife pack up and move out to his great-grandfather's old house in the country. While trying to patch it up, the house starts to make it clear to him that it doesn't want him there, but the local church (with some off-kilter practices of their own) seems to take a shine to him.

Pour fuir sa solitude trop pesante, Frances propose à un homme sans attache de l'héberger. Elle fait alors tout pour qu'il reste à ses côtés allant jusqu'à l'enfermer dans sa chambre. Un soir, alors qu'elle souhaite le séduire, elle découvre le lit vide.
