The Turn of the Screw tells the story of an inexperienced governess left to care for two orphaned children at an isolated mansion in the English countryside. Shortly after her arrival, the governess begins to see visions of two malicious ghosts who seem determined to posses the innocents in her care. Resolved to save the children, she struggles to unravel the mystery of the ghosts' motives and discover the key to destroying their power.
