'There are some demons even Hell won't shelter..."

'A young woman is sent to an isolated country estate to care for two children. A boy and a girl, Miles and Flora. 

'The children are charming, if perhaps a little too precocious. And for a while everything seems perfect. But something is gathering, waiting. There is a figure in the darkness.

'And there are sins that don't die with the sinner.

'A brand-new adaptation of one of the most celebrated horror stories ever written, The Turn of the Screw is a creeping and malevolent exploration of the way the crimes of the past poison long into the future.'
