Love, ambition, and a little bit of murder—welcome to the moors.

Love, ambition, and a little bit of murder—things get weird fast on the moors!

Two sisters, a mastiff, and a moorhen wait in a lonely house, but a new arrival proves that nothing is as it seems. A dark, twisted comedy full of mystery and feminine fire.

FIU News has additional information:
