The romance between the famous artist Erich Kruger and the modest art gallery employee Jenny McPartland is developing rapidly and rapidly: within a week they decide to get married. Jenny, with two children from her first marriage, moves to Erich, who lives in a secluded estate. And although their new husband surrounds them with love and care, Jenny cannot shake the feeling that she is just a guest in this ancient house, where the cult of Erich’s long-dead mother reigns. And suddenly a disaster happens: Jenny’s ex-husband, the dissolute actor Kevin, is found dead not far from the estate.
