A single old lantern appears in a little town, and instead of phantoms, the human inner secrets are revealed. The town is besieged: admissions come out, marriages disintegrate, and a deranged ex-caretaker (the Mad Watcher) stokes fervour. With every fresh revelation — among them a buried horror — the town teeters on the edge of purge or protection. The lantern’s glow insists on a final reckoning that destroys more than it frees. The tale ends on a tragic note, with irreversible consequences and the lantern’s legacy as a sore the town will forever bear.
