,
,
, Washington State, late nineteenth century.
, During the frenzied historical era commonly known as the Klondike Gold Rush, a
, mysterious woman arrives in Woodsburgh, a small mining town close to the
, Canadian border.
,
, It's been a few years since
, the Swanson mine was closed following the terrible accident that claimed the
, lives of so many men and women, including the owner's and the city it's still
, struggling in search for a new place on the map of the country.
,
,
, Elegant and extraordinarily wealthy, Lady
, Hellaine arrives in the city accompanied by her faithful butler Goodwill and
, settles in one of the most luxurious mansions in town. A lifestyle that
, contrasts sharply with that of the majority of the population, forced to choose
, between humble crafts and illegal
, activities.
,
, No one is aware of the reasons
, that led such a classy lady to move from Seattle to the small village, but her
, arrival certainly did not go unnoticed. Especially in the eyes of Lady Swanson,
, widow of the late mine owner and leading figure of the local bourgeoisie. Lady
, Hellaine's plans will bring her on a collision course with the powerful Lady
, Swanson, who, for reasons not entirely rational, distrusts the
, newcomer.
,
, Meanwhile, the streets and
, surroundings of Woodsburgh are flooded in blood: a heinous creature is killing
, incautious citizens, wreaking havoc on their bodies. Enough to induce local
, authorities to impose a strict curfew after
, sunset.
,
, And with the falling of the first
, snow, the "Woodsburgh Devil"'s fury seems to have even increased.
, What's the connection, if any, between this disturbing presence and the
, ivory-skinned stranger?
,
, Who is Lady Hellaine,
, really? And what's her secret agenda?
