WHITE TRASH meets PAGAN POLTERGEIST in the quest to turn

METALS into GOLD...

THE FINAL SECRET is a psychological thriller/ horror film that explores the occult science of Alchemy in an intellectual and visceral way. As two runaway teenage girls sidetrack through rural Long Island on their way to NYC, they are unexpectedly bequeathed the luxury and respite of house-sitting the weekend at Radcliffe Manor-- a historic, 18th Century Tudor estate that has seen better days.

As the heir/curator of the "museum" takes leave, the girls implicate two local boys for company. Strange happenings ensue about the manor. Of particular interest is an enchanted harmonica which produces peculiar sounds based on who's playing it, and is instrumental in pitting one against another in the dubious atmosphere.

By the time Nigel (the curator/heir of Radcliffe Manor) returns, it becomes apparent they are the victims of a poltergeist. Nigel's (seven generations removed) Great Uncle Malcolm will not die until he completes his life's mission as an alchemist; to finish the transformation, and secure THE FINAL SECRET of the Philospher's Stone-- to turn ordinary metal into gold.

Malcolm's recipe calls for some dangerous ingredients, including a virgin sacrifice, as he attempts to play God. The girls venture to put their lives on the line, to lay him to rest. What Cassie and Elizabeth discover too late, as they transgress themselves, is this: "Do you really want to partner with a 250 year-old poltergeist and his estranged nephew  in the ultimate get-rich scheme?"
