An expert at sleight of hand and with a keen eye for identifying charlatans and tricksters, our story begins as Harry has fallen on hard times in recent years, professionally and ethically losing his way. He’s resorted to making his living as a fake medium and fraudulent ghost hunter, conducting séances for unsuspecting families who think their lives have been made a misery by ghostly mischief making. Harry’s duplicitous lifestyle has also had serious consequences when after leading a séance for a tragic soldier a young man commits suicide on the doorstep of Harry’s home. A couple of months later, Harry is offered the chance to investigate the haunting of a local MP’s home as the case threatens to ruin the politician’s reputation. With the prospects of leading his political party, Edward Curtis can ill-afford the scandal as his wife Grace begins to hallucinate and act bizarrely and very much out of character as she believes their family home to be haunted. There’s a possibility Grace may be committed to an asylum in scandalous circumstances if Harry doesn’t take on the investigation. Ghosts from Harry’s past influence his decision to take the case and he begins to think it might be time to take a new path. Together with the Curtis family maid, Sarah Grey, whose own mother has fallen prey to con artist mediums in the past, their detection and investigative skills complement one another and they make a formidable partnership. Smart, driven and open-minded, Sarah is a strong-minded woman who can handle herself when unravelling the mysteries behind the hauntings, which are seriously affecting Grace’s health and well-being. Harry also calls on the services of his old friend, Albert, during the investigation. An African pharmacist with a sideline in voodoo con-artistry, Albert has a keen interest in medical and scientific discoveries, which Harry exploits to the maximum. Journalist Vernon Wall also finds himself in Harry’s orbit. Cynical and hard-bitten, although clever at winning the trust of the people he’s interviewing, Vernon is keen to learn about Harry’s techniques and sensing a political scandal sets out to inveigle his way into his life by extracting information from Sarah.

伊桑·伯格的长篇叙事处女作通过虚构的大学兄弟会的视角,对盲目遵守传统进行了引人入胜的思考。汤姆(亚历克斯·沃尔夫饰)是这个兄弟会的热情“兄弟”,他被高社会地位和校友关系的承诺所吸引,这些承诺为他打开了大门。但随着社交圈外的同学安娜贝尔(哈莉·贝利饰)进入他的生活,他的忠诚度开始动摇。当新兄弟会成员的预定欺凌达到令人不安的程度时,汤姆面临着一生中最重要的决定。在这部独特的电影中,伯格开启了一场可以应用于任何对机构绝对忠诚的例子的对话。沃尔夫的表演令人心碎,他扮演了一个年轻人,质疑曾经构成他生命的每一个信念。约翰·马尔科维奇和丹妮丝·理查兹饰演他贪得无厌的室友腐败而富有的父母——上一代人延续着同样的传统。
