Drawn by the promise of an authentic haunt, New Yorkers Mary and Ned Boyne leave behind the bustle of America for a secluded Georgian house in Dorsetshire.
Adapted from Edith Wharton’s chilling 1910 tale, Afterward unfolds in five haunting movements: a casual quest for the supernatural, a fateful windfall from the Blue Star Mine, and the slow-burn tension of unseen memories. As Mary immerses herself in the shadowed library and mist-cloaked avenues, she senses something more than history stirring in the walls. When Ned mysteriously disappears, Mary confronts a revelation as eerie as it is inevitable: the ghost they sought was already in their midst.
