What begins as a thrill quickly spirals into terror.

Faced with terrifying visions and a world that twists with dark magic, Kaido, Daniel, and Yumiko must confront the horrors of Leo’s past and unravel the mystery of the mansion before they are consumed by it. But in a place where reality bends, and death is ever-present, no one can be sure of who or what Leo truly is.
