After being unceremoniously dumped by her longtime boyfriend, Annie accepts a teaching position in a small village upstate. Then Annie meets Sophie. Beautiful, charming, magnetic Sophie, who takes a special interest in Annie. Annie can't help but gravitate toward the self-possessed Sophie, despite the fact that the rest of the townsfolk seem a little afraid of her. Sophie's appearance is uncanny and ageless, her mansion in the middle of the woods feels a little unearthly, and she does seem to wield a certain power - but she couldn't be - could she?
