The Henry Clyde Canning Murder House

Synopsis

Harry and Elise are sole heirs to the Canning family steel fortune, a legacy that also includes being the children of an infamous serial killer. Do they turn their father’s history against him by monetizing the horror, or do they hide in plain sight to keep dirty family secrets buried in the ground? Never has the phrase “forgive the sins of the father” been more apt, as these two grown siblings wrestle with each other and a devastating heritage.
