When billionaire Richard Hartwell summons his estranged children to a secluded island mansion, it appears to be a final attempt at reconciliation-and a promise to name a single heir to his collapsing empire. But before the weekend can begin, Richard vanishes without a trace.
Cut off by a violent storm, the family is trapped inside a house that doesn't behave like a house. Hidden tunnels, shifting rooms, and a buried ledger system reveal a chilling truth: the Hartwell fortune was never wealth-it was debt, carried across generations.
As cryptic clues lead them deeper beneath the mansion, the siblings uncover the legend of Captain Pegleg Hartwell, a ruthless pirate who betrayed his crew to claim a cursed treasure. But the truth is far worse-the pirate isn't haunting the island.
He is the island.
One by one, the siblings are forced into reenactments of their ancestors' betrayal, each choice feeding a system that demands balance. The treasure they seek is real-but it isn't a reward.
It's a reckoning.
As paranoia fractures what remains of the family, only one truth becomes clear: there is no inheritance-only the continuation of guilt. And the only way to end it... is to refuse to carry it forward.
But the house was never meant to be escaped.
It was meant to be completed.
