Mystery House

In the remote hush of a snow‑capped hunting lodge, the unexpected death of a prominent banker sends a ripple through the gathered guests. The scene is stark: a wealthy figure, Hubert Kingery, lies still, a firearm clutched in his hand, and an official verdict of suicide is quickly announced. Yet the atmosphere feels anything but settled, as the cold wind outside mirrors the uncertainty building within the lodge’s walls.

Determined not to accept the easy explanation, Gwen Kingery—the banker’s daughter—refuses to let the case fade into the background. She turns to her aunt’s trusted nurse, Sarah Keate, whose pragmatic insight leads her to enlist the help of Lance O’Leary, a seasoned detective known for his methodical approach. Together, they create a fragile alliance that pulls the diverse group of lodge occupants into a collective scrutiny, each harboring their own reasons for staying silent or speaking out.

The film drapes its narrative in a classic, tension‑laden whodunit tone, where the endless snowfall creates both a physical and psychological isolation. Inside, conversations are layered with unspoken histories, and every glance carries the weight of possible motives. The sleek, austere interiors contrast with the warm, flickering glow of the fireplace, underscoring a world where civility and suspicion coexist in a delicate balance.

As Lance begins to piece together the tangled web of relationships and hidden agendas, the stakes rise beyond mere curiosity. The looming possibility that another tragedy could unfold adds urgency to every interrogation, and the partnership between Gwen and Lance becomes a tenuous beacon of hope amid the encroaching darkness. The story invites viewers to linger in the suspense, feeling the chill of the storm and the heat of the investigation without ever revealing the final outcomes.
