The Drowning of Arthur Braxton

Synopsis

Seeking to escape his alcoholic-depressive father and the constant humiliation and bullying at school, Arthur Braxton finds peace and first love in a deserted Edwardian bath house inhabited by a beautiful water nymph, Delphina.

Unbeknownst to Arthur, Silver the pool's depraved custodian keeps its enchanted waters alive with the ritual sacrifice of children and Arthur is set to be his next victim.

Arthur Braxton must dig deep and overcome his fears to face up to Silver, the only way to end this cycle of killings; free Delphina, and save himself from his own personal demons.
