An antique restorer inherits an ornate Victorian mirror that forces her to relive her ancestors' murderous fates, blurring past and present until she must shatter the curse or become its next victim.
Synopsis
Elena Voss, a sharp-witted antique restorer in contemporary London, purchases a dust-covered ornate mirror from a shuttered estate. At first it reflects only beauty, then it begins revealing visceral scenes from her bloodline's history: a poisoned bride in 1892, a strangled artist in 1927, each death orchestrated by the same jeweled heirloom. As Elena's waking life fractures, the mirror's final empty frame begins to form around her own reflection. Her estranged sister and a skeptical conservator join the hunt through fog-shrouded archives and candlelit ballrooms, racing against the curse's accelerating timetable. Every night the visions grow longer and more seductive, promising eternal beauty if she simply stops fighting. Elena must decide whether to destroy the only object that makes her feel truly seen or become the next exquisite corpse in its silvered history.
The story
Elena acquires the mirror and experiences the first chilling vision of a Victorian ancestor; her reality begins to glitch as she researches the family name.
Allies and enemies emerge while the mirror's killings accelerate into the present; Elena confronts blood relatives and buried betrayals in decaying estates.
She lures the curse into a final confrontation at the original mansion, shattering both mirror and legacy in a rain of glass and revelation.

Cold open
INT. BLACKTHORN MANOR - ATTIC - NIGHT, 1892 Rain hammers leaded windows. LADY CORDELIA BLACKTHORN (30s, porcelain beauty) stands before an enormous gilded mirror, jewels glinting at her throat. She leans in, breath fogging the glass. CORDELIA Tell me I am the fairest. Her reflection smiles back a heartbeat late. From the shadows behind her, a gloved hand rises holding a silver letter opener. Cordelia does not turn. The blade flashes. Blood spatters the ornate frame. The mirror's surface ripples, swallowing the corpse as if it never existed.
