After the arrival of a mysterious guest at a remote hotel, new night receptionist finds herself embroiled within a nightmare scenario when she discovers he is an alleged murderer on the run from police.

SYNOPSIS:

A 16th Century guest house on the edge of town, a murderer hunted by the police and a young receptionist unlucky enough to find herself in the wrong place at the wrong time at Hallowe’en...

Madeline Norman is the new receptionist at the Hangman Inn, a creepy Elizabethan inn with an uncomfortable history. She is set to have a long, tedious night ahead of her after Ria, the landlady, leaves on a date and with the elusive Mr. Brown the only guest registered.

This changes, however, when the charismatic and secretive American, Vincent Blythe, arrives. When Madeline discovers that he is a drug smuggler and alleged murderer on the run from the police, she seeks the help of Gene, an off-duty detective patronizing the bar. Gene, however, is also a drunk and finds Madeleine irresistible. But when he assaults her it is Vincent who comes to the rescue and a fight ensues between the two men resulting in Gene’s 'accidental' death.

Surprised that Vincent encourages her to phone for the police, Madeleine attempts to do so, only to discover the telephone cable is cut and her cell phone unaccountably missing.

But this is just the beginning... the night is still young. As each layer of the plot tantalizingly unfolds, more questions are raised and Madeline finds herself embroiled deeper within a nightmare scenario with no clear means of escape. As she increasingly becomes drawn to Vincent, she begins to truly believe he is not the murderer he is accused of being.

From an eerie West Country inn to a lavish London hotel, The Inn at Hangman’s Hollow is at once sexy and dramatic, atmospheric and eerie with a complex cast of characters who cross the boundaries between fear and manipulation, suspicion and greed.
