The few clues the trio can find lead them to a forest on the outskirts of a rural village, where a man eating, immortal witch is said to dwell. As the case and the investigators' attachment to it grow more complex, though, and the harvest festival where the witch takes her victims draws nearer, what shocking revelations will come to light...?
