A Caution For The Wise
When an 18th Century Cleric, Rev. Heatly Smythe is appointed to a new rural Parish, he finds his faith tested by local superstitions surrounding a strange mound in an ancient woodland. Heatly has little time for the local superstition and being an academic and a scholar, he begins to ruminate about the true nature of the so-called 'Devil's Mound'. In an attempt to rid the Parish of it's 'blasphemous beliefs', Heatly endeavors to prove that the mound in question is merely an ancient neolithic burial sight, of historic and scientific importance. Led by his own arrogance and blind self-conviction, Rev. Heatly Smythe find himself confronted by local friction, tragic circumstances, and an illusive individual that begins to haunt his every step. Loosely based on a chapter from the 'smash hit' novel 'Skendleby', written by the Director's father, Nick Brown, with all rights permitted.
