Synopsis
Appearances are everything in Maple Heights, where the Whitaker family’s mansion gleams with tradition and respectability—but rot festers beneath the surface. Grace, a maid with secrets of her own, watches as the household’s rituals turn deadly: housemaids are named and discarded like objects, and the mistress’s icy grip leaves scars that run deeper than bruises. When a young maid named Penny dies, Grace is thrust into a cruel game of survival, forced to choose between obedience and dignity as betrayals mount and the threat of violence grows. But when the master falls mysteriously ill and bandits strike on a lonely road, the balance of power shifts—and Grace must risk everything to escape a fate worse than servitude. In a house built on secrets, who will break free—and who will pay the price for loyalty? Will dignity or cruelty win when the masks finally fall?
