Description:
In a secluded part of Devon, a strange visitor named Crossley enters the lives of a local musician and his wife. Crossley has a deep understanding of ancient aboriginal magic and uses these powers to enter their home and slowly take over, making it hard to tell what's real. The story looks at ideas of who we are, who's in charge, and what happens when people have different beliefs. As the story progresses, the difference between the normal world and the magical world fades, pulling viewers into a place where the natural rules can be changed to fit Crossley's plans.
