Victorian England - Newlyweds Malone and Stoppard have a daughter, Angelica, and soon afterwards supernatural events have a significant impact on the mother.
Despite a compelling performance from Malone and a an atmosphere capturing both Victorian society and the spookiness quite nicely, in the end this is actually rather tedious. McTeer's presence adds to the interest, but she seems to making a more typical ghost story, which this is not and whilst the ultimate pay off is interesting and not wholly unexpected, since they've been using to right tools of the trade in making this you do yearn for the film McTeer is making.
