Directed by Andrea M. Catinella and written by Enrico Tessarin, the film is set in London and the English countryside. Jiang plays Countess Isolde Dragomir, whose feud with the rival Howe family is stirred up when she kills her old enemy’s son; the arrival of Theo Mercer, who resembles her lost lover, complicates her plans. The film is produced by Tessarin, Jiang, Catinella and Carla Fuschillo for Starmist Films.
