In the mist-shrouded Scottish Highlands lies Blackwater Manor, a decaying estate haunted by a centuries-old curse and whispers of a ghostly stag with flaming antlers. When the reclusive Sir Alastair McRae is found dead under mysterious circumstances, his niece Eleanor inherits more than the crumbling property—she inherits a legacy of fear, death, and ancient secrets. Desperate and terrified, Eleanor turns to the world's greatest detective—Sherlock Holmes—and his loyal companion Dr. Watson. But as they arrive at the manor, surrounded by thick fog, eerie lochside winds, and the lingering scent of sulfur, they find themselves drawn into a chilling web of supernatural phenomena, occult rituals, and a secret cult determined to keep the curse alive. As the blood-red moon rises, Holmes must face not only a calculated human conspiracy—but something far older and darker, bound to the land itself. The line between reason and myth, science and the paranormal, begins to blur. Will Holmes solve the case before the curse claims another life? Or is this one mystery that even the master detective cannot explain? ???
