Second Coming: A Little Princess Horror Homage

In this dark fable set in Victorian England, seven-year-old heiress Melissa Hawthorne is confronted with loneliness when she is uprooted from her comfortable countryside existence to a London boarding school, where headmistress Miss Grandine flatters her while harboring jealousy and dislike. A dislike that balloons into open hostility when Melissa's father loses his fortune and dies tragically, leaving her a penniless charity pupil completely at Miss Grandine's mercy. Little does she know that being made a servant cruelly treated by both staff and fellow pupils will be the least of her worries, as a nameless horror begins to stalk her through the school halls, something pushing through reality's thin surface to consume her. When her brutal circumstances begin to merge with the uncanny, Melissa, left all alone in the world, must find a way to escape both before they destroy her.
