In a quaint port town at the turn of the century, a 9-year-old girl named Laurin lives with her family in a remote cottage surrounded by dense woods and a castle ruin on a hill. Her father, a sailor, is often away at sea for months, leaving Laurin with her mother, grandmother, and a sense of unease. When her mother dies under mysterious circumstances, Laurin begins to suspect that something sinister lurks in the village. Two years later, a new teacher, Van Rees, arrives in town, and Laurin finds herself drawn to his dark hair and melancholy gaze. As strange events unfold, Laurin uncovers a dark secret: a murderer is hiding in the castle ruin, accompanied by a black wolfish dog. The truth is revealed when Laurin discovers a hidden vault and confronts her deepest fears.
