Synopsis
Merricat Blackwood lives on the family estate with her sister Constance and her
uncle Julian. Not long ago there were seven Blackwoods - until a fatal dose of
arsenic found its way into the sugar bowl one terrible night. Acquitted of the
murders, Constance has returned home, where Merricat protects her from the
curiosity and hostility of the villagers. Their days pass in happy isolation
until cousin Charles appears. Only Merricat can see the danger, and she must act
swiftly to keep Constance from his grasp.
