Every Mistake a Forfeit

Set against the backdrop of Dickensian Britain, this compelling story follows teenagers Ben and Jem as they escape a harsh London school and journey across the countryside, forming a deep bond while hiding their secrets. Their refuge in an abandoned farmstead leads to moments of vulnerability and realization, but also awakens lurking darkness with sinister intentions. Blending Dickensian drama, queer coming-of-age, and Gothic horror, the narrative explores themes of love, discovery, and the sacrifices demanded by past mistakes and supernatural forces.
