His will has not been found and so all his vast fortune is tied up with bureaucratic red tape. Two cousins, Anthony and Za- ren who do not like each other at all, along with their signifi- cant others, have had the idea to break into their deceased uncle's remote country house to look for a copy of the will. They intend to use the will if it's in their favour or destroy it if it is not. So, one stormy night both couples break into the old house to carry out their mean plan. However, they both did not expect the other couple to be there. Nor did they expect their old un- cle's stories of a ghostly bride wandering the rooms at night to be true.
