Amongst the wind-swept desolate marshes and dense forest sits Ithaca, cloaked in mist post rainfall; a storm is coming. Once a palatial estate turned children’s home, now a high-end hotel, much like its former owners, Ithaca rots from the inside out. Though its exterior is luxurious, its rooms well appointed, and the restaurant’s menu composed of delicious, hand-foraged wild produce, the twisted secrets of Ithaca’s past form an indelible stain that cannot be exorcised. Into this eerie world steps Leda, under cover, pretending to be a ghost-writer tasked with penning the memoirs of the estate’s previous owner: Jove Livingston who has passed away. A memorial event to celebrate Jove’s life is being held, an event that will be celebrated by a lavish dinner. Leda will discover the deep and terrible secrets of Ithaca. A revenger’s tragedy, set in a Downton Abbey-like world, portrayed through a hallucinogenic lens, with an almost fetishistic detail around the food, nature and wardrobe where the evil sins of the past are exposed and revenge is served up on a plate.
