"The years will soon erase a lover's lies...the blood on his face!"
Charlotte Hollis is a wealthy spinster in the southern United States. She is avoided by her environment because of a murder she allegedly committed 40 years ago. However, her guilt was never proven. She lives alone on the parental plantation. During the day she gets help from her loyal servant Velma. She sometimes has a hard time, because Charlotte is not completely stable mentally. She only keeps in touch with her cousin Miriam sporadically. She comes to visit when Charlotte is forced to leave her house by the state.
