Synopsis
Years earlier, a young governess was hired to look after two orphaned children in an idyllic country house where both she and the children began to see frightening and alluring spectres of the former footman and governess. Determined to prove her value, the governess was willing to risk everything to keep her charges safe, but now her horrifying past may be catching up with her.
