We join Dorian Gray as he attends an upper class soiree hosted by the clever Lady Narborough. Although Dorian appears at ease, he is internally struggling after the traumatic events of the previous night. While the party attendees chatter aimlessly, Dorian remains haunted by the sordid death of his once beloved painter Basil.
After dinner, Dorian longs to confess all to his friend Lord Henry but remains silent, fearing the repercussions. Returning home, Dorian is unable to rest and destroys the remaining evidence of his crime in the fireplace. But when he opens a decorative cabinet, something compels him to remove a mysterious box inside.
As midnight clocks chime through the darkened streets, Dorian creeps out into the London fog. His nighttime journey seems to lead someplace clandestine. What is within the ornamental box? And where is Dorian headed so late on a gloomy night? The drama builds in this pivotal chapter, as secrets and mysteries continue to abound in our Gothic tale.
