Richard is a little bit frightened of his brilliant sister Caroline. Trapped in a wheelchair by polio, she's jealous of every aspect of his life and rules the house through her force of personality. When his pretty and simple cousin Janet comes to live with them after her parents are killed in a car wreck, Richard learns that there's an entirely different way to fear Caroline when it becomes clear to everyone that he's falling in love with Janet. A dark and atmospheric mystery, more about the potential for violence than violence itself.
