Two women take refuge in a remote Scottish country house where a demon awaits them.

Two women take refuge in a remote Scottish country house where a demon awaits them. Stars Claire Knight and Suzanne Donaldson.

On the run from a women's prison in the Scottish Highlands, Kate and Colleen are given refuge in a vast country mansion by a charming but rather enigmatic host, Adam Strachan. 

It could be a decision they come to regret... 

Marty Ross's supernatural thriller.   

Starring Claire Knight and Suzanne Donaldson.   

The five-part storyline is based around the notion, found in old Scottish folk tales, of the Beatha Greimach - literally 'The Breath Thief' - a celtic demon said to lure victims into a kiss which would drain the soul from their bodies.
