Development Pitch
Newlyweds Alex and Maggie travel to England and verify a DNA match to one of England's great noble families, the Glendons. Alex makes contact with the current Earl of Glendon and arranges a meeting to introduce him to his long-lost cousin, Charles McLagan. As the story progresses, Alex and Maggie uncover a 100-year-old murder involving Lord Glendon's great-grandmother. The dark secret of the Glendon family is revealed and then confirmed by the Earl of Glendon. The news of a long-lost heir to the Glendon family titles and fortune doesn't sit well with the Earl's lecherous daughter and grandson who set about trying to eliminate the competition to their birthright. With the help of a benevolent spirit of a little girl, Maggie and Alex work to thwart the murderous mother-son duo while protecting their client and the Earl. The story is action-packed with the spoiled mother and son duo slowly descending into madness as they try to eliminate their long-lost cousin...and the interfering Tinsdills
