The Sonata

Violin virtuoso Rose Fisher uncovers shocking news about her estranged father, Richard Marlowe. He tragically took his own life by setting himself ablaze, a revelation that throws her life into turmoil.

Amid the emotional chaos, Rose makes the decision to pause her commitments and visit her father's remote estate in France. This trip marks a turning point in her life as she confronts her father's legacy.

Upon her arrival, Rose meets Thérèse, her father's former housekeeper. This meeting reveals the strained history of her family and the lingering effects of her father's notorious reputation in the local community.

While exploring her father's desk, Rose stumbles upon an unfinished violin sonata, covered in occult symbols. The moment she plays a fragment of the music, a haunting figure momentarily manifests behind her, hinting at the dark connection her father had with the piece.

After recognizing the emotional strain in her relationship with her agent Charles, Rose decides to reach out to mend their professional rift. She shares her findings about the sonata and sends him images of the cryptic symbols, rekindling their collaboration.

Charles consults former client and musical prodigy James to seek insight into the disjointed sonata. James struggles to decode the music, leading to a referral to Sir Victor Ferdinand, a historian familiar with Rose's father's work.

Victor presents Charles with a book detailing the strange symbols which are tied to a secret society that believed music could conjure the devil. This revelation adds a layer of fear and urgency to their investigation.

As Rose sifts through her father's belongings, she discovers a symbol burned into the fireplace, leading to disturbing visions of her father engulfed in flames. These nightmares intensify her drive to either understand or destroy the dark legacy left behind.

Charles informs Rose about the significance of the encountered symbols, which symbolize the four faces of evil. Together, they begin to unravel the hidden meaning behind the sonata in their pursuit of its completion.

Curious about her father's past, Rose explores the woods surrounding the estate, eventually discovering an old chapel with disturbing murals. The experience becomes a chilling insight into Richard Marlowe's dark secrets and possible wrongdoings.

Returning from her exploration, Rose encounters spectral children, further complicating her emotional state. This event leads her to share these frightening experiences with Charles, deepening their collaboration.

The last symbol, depicted as a rose in Marlowe's portrait, leads Charles to a horrifying realization. He concludes that the sonata was crafted using the anguished cries of kidnapped children, a revelation that sends Rose into a panic.

Consumed by obsession, Charles turns violent as he urges Rose to play the malevolent sonata. In a horrific turn of events, Rose is compelled to perform the music, which unleashes dark forces within the mansion.

As Rose plays the cursed sonata, a demonic entity emerges, leading to an untimely and violent death for Charles. The struggle leaves Rose deeply traumatized, marking a pivotal moment in her life as she faces the malevolence tied to her father's legacy.

Time later passes, and Rose takes to the stage at the Royal London Concert Hall. As she begins to play the haunting sonata, it becomes evident that the sinister legacy of her father's music still haunts her, suggesting an ongoing battle with the darkness of her past.
