Unnerving noises and eerie presences intensify the fear, making Kenneth question the true nature of the mansion and its inhabitants.

As the night progresses, secrets unravel about the mansion's haunting past and the dark deeds that transpired within its walls. Tensions rise, culminating in a web of deceit, concealed identities, and sinister motivations.
