About

Set in as sinister an old library as one is likely to come across, presided over by a portrait of a grim faced, mad eyed old man, there, a dusty lawyer reads a will to an equally sinister family. One member has werewolf tendencies, another wanders around in a toga like Julius Caesar and a third is a gentle old lady who plants more than just seeds in her flowerbeds.

By the third act, there are more corpses than live members left in the cast and nothing is as it seems to be.  All is revealed as the plot twists and turns to its surprising conclusion!
