Pursued by a scandalous
trial that rocked London society, Lavinia Hurst has escaped, penniless,
to Venice. There she becomes acquainted with the Meryons - Daniel, the
handsome head of the family to whom she's immediately drawn, his vicious
wife, their daughter who was crippled by a tragic accident, and the
great-aunt - an ancient woman of enormous wealth who is near death.
The
deeply troubled girl takes to Lavina who is employed as her companion at
Winterwood, the family's lonely, isolated estate in England.
There
Lavinia is troubled by the wife's evil scheming, about a nephew who
hints that he knows her secret, and after the death of the aunt -
struggles to protect the now-wealthy young girl from her ruthless
mother.
