In this chilling, lushly visualized first feature from director Andrew Desmond, a young musical prodigy, Rose (Freya Tingley), learns that she has inherited the mansion inhabited by her recently deceased father (Rutger Hauer in a stone-faced cameo), a famous and reclusive composer from whom she was estranged. So she decamps to the sprawling old house alongside her protective manager (Simon Abkarian). There, she discovers among his belongings an unpublished score whose cryptic notations hint at sinister, possibly supernatural secrets—to which Rose herself might just hold the key.
