"A virgin's curse made in the hour that she was ravished ... a curse invoked in the name of the witch-mother." When aristocrat Sir Lionel Buckstone brutally forces himself on young peasant-girl Hester Adams, little does he realise that his entire family is about to fall prey to her curse, a grim passover played out each year on the anniversary of his crime. For the surviving Buckstones, it is a race against time to free themselves from Hester's terrible spell before their collective extinction. Eighteenth-century England provides the backdrop to this succulent imbroglio of lust, revenge and exquisite horror.
