When an orphaned heiress is brought to her ancestral
home to meet the man to whom she has been betrothed,
the Gothic fun begins. Sybil, the saucy heroine of Louisa
May Alcott's story, is snared in the web of her uncle's
betrayal, and soon finds herself at the mercy of men
who trade freely in the sanity of women. Even the story's
romantic resolution cannot shake the echo of the past:
the newlyweds are haunted by the whisper of a dead woman
and by wrongs that cannot be righted.
