Mr. Jan Davydov had a bad temper. He had a weakness for his own serfs and did not bother to hide it from his wife, Mrs. Maryshka. One day one of those women got bitten to death by master's dogs. Some said that it was Maryshka' s work, but she herself died shortly under the strange circumstances. Despite the passing time, the Davidovs' descendants seems to be cursed as well. Will history repeat itself again? Will the ancient manor, that heard so many cries and saw so much blood, finally witness its owners' happiness?
