In Edwardian England, Violet has a fairy tale existence: loving
husband, beautiful baby son and luxurious home. She wants for
nothing. But soon after the birth of her baby the idyll begins to
disintegrate. Violet becomes obsessed by a book of fairy tales her
husband has locked away in a safe. Paranoid hallucinations begin to
haunt her and she starts to question her sanity. Meanwhile,
vulnerable young women are starting to disappear from the nearby
asylum. Soon Violet herself is interned in the asylum for treatment
only to discover, on coming out, that her husband has hired a nanny
while she has been away, the beautiful, enigmatic Clara. The
brutality of the asylum is nothing compared to the horrors that now
lie in wait.
