What can you do if someone bought your home from underneath you? In this particular situation, although you call it your home, the house doesn’t really belong to you. You are the butler and it is a beautiful mansion in the mountains. As the butler, you know everything about your mansion, including its deepest darkest secrets.
If you don’t own the house, there’s nothing much you can do about it. The house was just purchased by a well-to-do couple and you are allowed to stay to continue your butler duties out of the goodness of their hearts. You’re paid a salary besides.
Such is the situation of one of the main characters in The Villa. He is angry that he has to answer to the new owners and puts up an amiable front all the while operating in the shadows. He will not have the pesky new owners get their claws into the home he has loved since childhood.
Since he knows all the deep dark secrets about the house he’s going to take advantage of that. First, he’ll resort to tricks. If that fails, he’s going to try something deadly which is conjuring the very old spirits who are ready to be awakened.
And believe me, these spirits are not just the kind that makes their presence known by just shaking the chandeliers (although they do now and then). These are killer ghosts. The result is quite devastating for him and the new owners. One should not tamper with the spiritual realm to alter things for selfish purposes. There’s a price to pay, as he will discover at the end.
