茱蒂戴维丝初登影坛光芒万丈之作。她饰演一位极具文学天份，并勇于对抗保守环境的女性，山姆尼尔则饰演她温柔的爱人。女主角从小就宣示她成为文学家的野心，在上世纪初女性尚未得到应有社会地位的年代，她的奋斗故事是一页女性主义成长的诗篇。

The film opens in a bleak police station where celebrated war correspondent Kate Rafter (Seagrove) faces questions from a psychiatrist, Dr Shaw (Kurylenko), as they work through the painful events of Rafter’s life. A horrific incident in war-torn Iraq and the death of her mother (Steed) have brought a haunted Rafter home to Herne Bay, a place she believed she had escaped forever. Her resentful sister (Friel) has not made her sister welcome and her forbearing husband Paul (Miles) fails to broker peace. Whilst packing up her mother’s belongings from her childhood home, Rafter comes to believe there is something strange and terrifying happening in the house next door.
