  Terry Brandt plays role-playing games, passing his time in the pursuit of imaginary contests with monsters and magic. Aging and depressed, he works a dead-end job, lives with his father, and enjoys a romantic life that could best be described as empty. 
    
  And for some reason, people are starting to die around Terry, killed in bizarre ways by seemingly otherworldly assailants that cannot be traced by the baffled police department. Whomever Terry holds a grudge against meets and unexplainable and brutal end, and the list of his deserving victims grows longer by the day. 
    
  As the murders continue, Dani Isaksson, a clever and committed detective, tries to contain the wicked string of horrific killings, getting ever closer to an apparent supernatural cause of the slayings. But as violence endangers everything surrounding her, Dani finds she will have to decided what price she is willing to pay to stop a lurking evil beyond anything she has ever known.

  BEDLAM; A Wychwood Ghost Story...

  London, 1895. Beneath the grandeur of Queen Victoria’s reign, shadows lengthen. Private asylums thrive, promising rest for troubled minds, yet many conceal despair rather than cure it. None more so than Fairheather Asylum for the Infirmed and Lunatic—a place where hope decays in candlelit corridors, and whispers linger long after midnight. 
  Emily, unwillingly confined, seeks solace at her favorite window in the Day Room. Beyond the mews she chases glimpses of the emperor butterfly, said to grant wishes to the pure of heart. Yet one window remains bare, lifeless, avoided even by insects. And there, framed in peeling paint and grime, waits the figure she dreads most: a gaunt specter draped in tatters, hair like tangled roots, eyes black as voids. Its lips move without sound, repeating the same chilling demand—“Where are my beads? Where are my beads?” 
  The haunting is no accident. Its roots lie far from London, in the ancient soil of the Wychwood borderlands where four counties meet. A century ago, in a plow-field near Oddington House, something was unearthed that should have remained buried. What was disturbed has cursed Emily’s bloodline ever since, binding her to the phantom that now stalks her reflection. 
  Each episode of BEDLAM: A Wychwood Ghost Story peels back layers of horror: the buried relic, the sins of a family long damned, the cruelties of doctors who confuse torment with treatment. A tale of inheritance, madness, and the hunger of the dead, BEDLAM invites you into a world where reason falters, the past refuses burial, and the ghost at the window grows stronger with every glance. 
  Step into Fairheather. Listen for the whispers. Watch the windows. 
  But do not meet her gaze too long.
