Wednesday meets The Secret Garden with a touch of Knives Out in this gorgeously gothic and mysterious adventure about family secrets, devilishly bad deeds, and a touch of murder . . .
​
Once, the great house of Skulkmoor stood proudly on its hillside, commanding the attention of anyone who came by. Now, it is a curious puzzle of a place - not least thanks to the giant wall which cuts it straight in half, separating the two warring Fox families that live inside it.
​
Ted and Iris Fox are cousins who have been raised to hate each other - but when their families are forced to confront the question of who Skulkmoor belongs to once and for all, a ruthless race to solve an ancient crime begins - and whoever loses, will be cast out of their home forever.
​
Can Ted and Iris put the past behind them - or will their rivalry destroy everything?
