## Synopsis
A war-weary soldier, Jan, seeks shelter in the crumbling ruins of Chęciny Castle, a place whispered to be haunted by the Biała Dama – the White Lady. But what he dismisses as peasant superstition becomes a chilling reality when the ghost appears, revealing a centuries-old betrayal and a treasure hidden deep within the keep. Bound by an oath to right a wrong, Jan must unravel the mystery of her murder, confront the living descendants of her traitor, and decide whether the treasure is worth the curse that guards it. As the line between the living and the dead blurs, Jan discovers that some promises transcend the grave, and that honor may be the only treasure worth seeking. An AI-assisted retelling of the ghost story "The White Lady of Chęciny" from Poland.
