“Secret thoughts... That led to secret love... That led to rapture and terror!”
DramaRomanceThriller
A simple Connecticut farm girl is recruited by a distant relative, an aristocratic patroon, to be governess to his young daughter in his Hudson Valley mansion.
VIBE
A brooding, atmospheric descent into gothic romance. Shadows lengthen and secrets fester within a grand estate, where forbidden desires and creeping madness intertwine. It feels like a dark fairy tale with a chilling undercurrent.
