[edit] Plot introduction
A 20 something couple decide to give up on the rat race and buy a dilapidated cottage out in the Hampshire countryside that (unknown to them) has mystical powers. Before long they encounter a strange but friendly cult that live nearby in a mansion who in time become very interested in the cottage.
The house is initially very friendly and warm, and the occupants could not be more happier. But with the good magic comes a bad magic soon after and things start to happen that could endanger their lives.
