The noble Arden family is on the brink of ruin: the patriarch, Sir Reginald, has mortgaged the family estate, Mortlake Hall, yet again, while his son, Richard, is squandering the rest of his fortune on cards. Their only hope lies with their young, beautiful daughter, Alice, whom the family plans to marry off well.

During this difficult time for the family, a wealthy gentleman, Walter Longcluse, whose past is unknown, appears in London society. Longcluse quickly wins the Ardens' favor, paying off Richard's gambling debts and even offering to marry Alice.

But what lies hidden in Longcluse's dark past, and are his intentions truly selfless? What connection does he have with the mysterious murder that took place at the ancient Mortlake Hall twenty years ago?
