Description

A house covered in dark secrets. Being fired hit Daniel hard. He threw himself into the routine of home life and almost reached rock bottom. To change his life and save his marriage, together with his wife he decides to move. Daniel’s eye catches a wonderful vineyard—almost too good and cheap to be real. The couple quickly sells their townhouse and leaves Sweden.

A new place means a new life for their family. The manor with the vineyard lies in the woods, across the river. The condition is sad—years have passed since anyone last took care of it. But the spouses are sure that, despite everything, they will be able to build a cozy nest.

Daniel starts from the foundation—going down to the basement, hoping to find a wine cellar. But what he finds could turn their life into a real nightmare.

So that’s why there are no mirrors in the house…
