Description
It is a story that seems ambiguous and controversial, as it speaks of a young man named David who was in crisis when he discovered that his wife and Alex - one of her clients - were deceiving him. Things may change quite a bit later when his colleague gave him a tape showing that his house was a place of savage killing in 1902, which could turn things upside down.
