SYNOPSIS:

This is a vertical thriller series where greed, deception, and the supernatural collide in one deadly night. 34 episodes of 2-3 minutes each, perfect for mobile viewing.

CHRISTI Li (28), an attractive blonde widow of her late 80-year-old billionaire husband (WEI JI), is required by the will to hold a séance with those inheritors named in the will. The location is the deceased's haunted house parlor. Included are handsome, professional singer and Scientologist, JOHNNY WANG (30); rugged BUCK SHIKAR (30s), the deceased-man's favorite safari guide and fellow trophy hunter; and a Tibetan MONK (80), who took a vow of silence. The hired MEDIUM (60) for the séance is a gray-haired Romanian-Asian gypsy covered in colorful cloaks and a veil to conceal her face.

The famous singer, Johnny, is immediately uneasy with simple gusts of wind. When the fireplace tools rattle, a bell slides across the table, and the table shakes spontaneously, he panics, breaks out in hives, confesses to being a Confucian, and races out of the cabin in shock. He is automatically disinherited for leaving.

Later, the Monk faces the same fears he did as a cloistered "believer." The elderly priest, weakened by previous heart disease and a pacemaker, grows uneasy about the seemingly paranormal activity. The frustrated, silent priest becomes overly fretful and suffers a fatal heart attack when his pacemaker mysteriously fails.

With each injury or death, Christi is sympathetic and comforting. Buck, the trophy hunter, refuses to be intimidated by paranormal activity. He needs the money. However, three black widow spiders emerge from under his chair, and he suffers what he thinks are three bites. He races out.

As human casualties mount, Madam Verona gets more suspicious of Christi. Finally, the Medium removes her veil and wig, and reveals herself as a professor (YU Zhoa; 30) who debunks mediums and faith healers. The ruse does not sit well with Christi, who shoots the medium/professor in the stomach with a derringer. In races dowdy local police chief, ELLIE MAY LYONS (35), who struggles to put together the events of the evening.

Johnny returns as the perfect dupe for Christi's plan to become the sole inheritor of her husband's riches. Johnny is exposed as a gullible fool, but isn't everyone? In a twist at the end, the police chief foils Christi's four near-perfect attempted murders. It is all a trap. However, the sheriff is shot in the stomach by Christi, who tries to make her escape, only to be caught in a snare trap set by the police chief.
