Payment

＂Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.＂ - Ephesians 5:8. Deep with the forgotten and misty moorlands of Yorkshire, the secluded village of Middleton Kirby unknowingly plays host to a dark secret. Dark, malignant and patient, it waits as if dormant for the next generation of an ancient family to make their Payment. When the Esquire of Middleton Kirby returns home to his manor and life of isolation after a period of time away, he finds he is not as abandoned as he always thought. As much as he may try to resist, he realises he cannot avoid making his Payment forever.
