He takes up residence at the aristocratic Alabaster family’s estate, schooling the young children and niece Matty (Kristin Scott Thomas) while falling deeply in love with his benefactor’s beautiful daughter, Eugenia (Patsy Kensit). When she agrees to marry Adamson, he is unaware that such a marriage will cause jealousy and intimidation, stemming from his lack of breeding and wealth. But Adamson soon learns the horrifying secret behind the Alabaster family— a secret beyond any husband’s darkest fears.
