The estate on the cliff, hidden from human eyes, where roses bloom and maids perish – the perfect refuge for one who flees from her own reflection and dares not speak her name aloud. Elira gets a position as the housekeeper's assistant in the hermit's estate, shrouded in fog and frightening rumors. They say Lord Edsel, who has doomed three brides, is a cursed monster who never removes his silver mask. However, behind it, he hides not only a disfigured face but also a wounded soul. Soon, an attraction arises between the two outcasts – dangerous, forbidden, stronger than fear and common sense. Elira does not believe the rumors until maids begin to perish one after another in the estate. Moreover, the gendarmes find evidence linking both the master of the estate and his new assistant to the deaths. Who is hunting the maids? Why are Elira's and Edsel's belongings found at the crime scenes? And most importantly — can two people with dark pasts trust each other when each of them could be guilty?
