Abstract
A Weekend at Blackwood Manor is a suspenseful mystery centered on three strangers who receive mysterious invitations to spend a weekend at a secluded manor with the promise of a one-million-dollar prize. After arriving, Sean, James, and Kyle quickly discover that their invitations were not random. Their mysterious host reveals that two of them are guilty of past wrongdoing and must atone for their actions before the prize can be awarded. As clues hidden throughout the manor begin connecting the men to Adam Stone and a tragic accident from years earlier, long-buried secrets and feelings of guilt begin to surface. What initially appears to be an opportunity to win a fortune soon becomes a dangerous game of confession, revenge, and survival.
