In the remote corners of post-war Warwickshire, Hundreds Hall stands as a fading emblem of old English grandeur, now on the verge of collapse. Dr. Faraday, the son of a former servant and a country physician, is beckoned to the dilapidated estate to attend to a patient, unwittingly embarking on an intimately chilling journey with the Ayres family. Once a symbol of wealth and stability, the Ayres—mother, son, and daughter—are each grappling with their personal demons as they strive to uphold their societal standing amidst rapid social change. But, as Dr. Faraday becomes more entangled in their lives, it becomes clear that a more menacing force is at play, one that exceeds mere social pressures, and threatens to engulf them all in its shadowy grasp. 'The Little Stranger' weaves a haunting tapestry of psychological suspense, exploring the spectral divide between the past and the present.
