The Witch of Crow Woods

England, 1885. A woman on the run. She is accused of murder, facing the gallows. The chase is closing in. Salvation from imminent doom comes in the form of a stranger who convinces the local constable that this woman is none other than his wife, Luna Grayborn. The fugitive, who has injured her leg in addition to all her troubles, must accept Grayborn's condition in exchange for shelter. Now she must convincingly play the role of his reclusive wife, who is believed to be a witch in the area. The ominous house on the edge of the forest, home to black crows, is filled with strange happenings and dark secrets. Where has the real Mrs. Grayborn gone? And indeed, the marks she has left around the house, such as an inverted pentagram, suggest witchcraft. The impostor is haunted by a sense of impending doom. Has she truly escaped deadly danger, or is something worse awaiting her?..
