Thriller Psychological | Suspense
Nine-year-old Samuel lives alone in a once-great estate
in Surrey with the family’s housekeeper, Ruth. His father
is dead and his mother has been abroad for months,
purportedly tending to her late husband’s faltering
business. She left in a hurry one night while Samuel was
sleeping and did not say goodbye. Beyond her sporadic postcards, Samuel hears nothing from
his mother. He misses her dearly and maps her journey in
an atlas he finds in her study. Samuel’s life is
otherwise regulated by Ruth, who runs the house with an
iron fist. Only she and Samuel know how brutally she
enforces order. As rumors in town begin to swirl, Samuel wonders whether
something more sinister is afoot. Perhaps his mother did
not leave but was murdered—by Ruth. Artful, haunting and hurtling toward a psychological
showdown, The Boy at the Keyhole is an incandescent debut
about the precarious dance between truth and perception,
and the shocking acts that occur behind closed doors.
