In 1873, on a small bleak island off the rich fishing coast of New Hampshire, two Norwegian women are murdered in a fit of brutal passion. A third, Maren Hontvedt, escapes to witness a local man's execution for the crime.More than a century later, Jean, a Boston photo-journalist, travels to the island on a research assignment to investigate the murder legend.

As she immerses herself in Maren's poignant tale of love and loss, Jean senses haunting echoes of her fading passion and possessive behaviour...
