Summary:
A lush, noir-tinged melodrama set in nineteenth-century New England. A young housekeeper Kate Fernald falls in love with Christopher Fortune. Christopher is a wealthy ship captain's son who would rather study music than the sea. Aware that their union is not to be, Kate renounces her true love and encourages him to wed someone from his social class. As the years go by, Kate is the mute witness to Christopher's frustration and unhappiness, culminating in a fatal bout with alcohol.
