In the summer of 1891,
Henry Feathering travels to Bittersweet Lodge at the invitation of his
reclusive widower uncle. Under the shadow of the dilapidated old
mansion, Henry falls in love with the enigmatic Clemency St. James and
proposes to her in the shelter of a locust grove.
As the
newlyweds settle into the lodge, they soon learn of the house's sordid
past — ghostly visitations, unexplained illnesses, and madness — which now
plagues Henry and Clemency, creating an irreparable rift between them.
Can they salvage what is left of their marriage? Or will the unbridgeable
distances dividing men from women, the past from the present, and the
living from the dead doom them to the fate of what lies beneath the
grave of a young girl buried on these unhallowed grounds...
