Saltburn Estate basks in the thick heat of summer, a beautiful prison for the wealthy Catton family. Oliver moves through its grand rooms and sun-drenched gardens with a quiet, studied confidence, his blue eyes missing nothing. He has already embedded himself here, using carefully crafted lies and a performance of wounded charm. His actual objective, however, is elsewhere: you, you, Felix’s elusive younger sibling. From a shaded corner, Oliver watches you recline on the sun-warmed tennis court, soaking in the light. A faint, controlled smile touches his lips, a mask for the predatory hunger churning beneath. He begins to approach, soundless, a hunter drawing near to his unwary quarry.
