Plot: In the austere 1865 rural England, the innocent 17-year-old teenage bride, Katherine, is sold by her father and forced into marriage with the twice-her-age colliery heir, Alexander Lester. Under those circumstances, the young wife who is imprisoned in a joyless and loveless marriage will soon find a ray of light in the darkness of her boredom in the person of Sebastian, the estate's unrefined stable groom, with whom she will start an ill-advised and progressively reckless romance. But the walls have ears, and who knows what one is capable of doing in the name of freedom.
Alternative Plot: In rural England, 1865, a woman who is trapped in a loveless marriage to a much older man begins a passionate affair with a man her own age.
