The war is over. The battle has just begun.
Based on the novel, The Pavilion On The Links, written by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Estranged friends Frank Cassilis and Northmour are fatefully reunited after six years and drawn together in an uneasy union. The two men play out old scores and suspicions as they struggle in their separate ways to protect an evil, decrepit embezzler, Huddlestone, and his hardened but beautiful daughter, Clara from vengeful former associates. Both men desire Clara but she has been promised to Northmour in exchange for her father’s safety. With Cassilis’ arrival, Northmour has to work hard to ensure that his carefully orchestrated plans are not disturbed. The situation explodes with the arrival of Huddlestone’s pursuers. His savage death and a night of terror culminates in a macabre dance of deadly madness and repressed passions, all bathed in the glow of the burning Pavilion. Cassilis, Clara and Northmour face an ashen dawn. How much blood must be spilled before one can learn the price of love and loyalty?
