Beryl Parker's life was once a high-wire act of deceit. She grew up in the old world of fairgrounds and con artists. With her husband Charlie by her side, they masterminded the ultimate con and then they were gone – free to live a good life. But fate had other plans. It was Charlie's untimely death that left Beryl reeling, penniless, living on handouts and semi hiding. Yet, Beryl's resilience and cunning would not be defeated. During one of her weekly walks through the city, she stumbled upon a fortune teller's stall at a local market, and a spark of inspiration ignited. She'd reinvent herself, using her skills to weave a new web of deception. It was perfect! Such a great and easy scam. And so, Psychic Beryl, the seer of secrets, was born. Five years of mystique and manipulation later, Beryl's grand Victorian mansion stands as a testament to her success. Her bank account is healthier, and exotic getaways are her playground. But beware, for in the shadows of the occult, secrets have a way of unravelling. Will Beryl's web of deceit entangle the wrong soul? Find out, as the lines between fortune and fate blur.
