Shooting a period piece a film crew arrives at The Hornburg, a reclusive alpine German estate. Art-house movie hero Morgan Essex isn't sure why the stately location troubles him. Maybe his reunion with bankable star Julie Beth Pohlter whose career has eclipsed his own. Maybe the vague familiarity of young actress Vanesse Lasterson with whom he must share a difficult scene. Maybe how the house just beckons. A dark draw of history soon opens doors he can't imagine, but must.
