Rural England, 1865. The young Katherine is suffocating in her loveless marriage, under the pressure of her much older, embittered husband and his harsh family. When she begins a passionate affair with a servant of her husband's estate, she unleashes such an elemental power that nothing can stand in her way anymore.
