The Turn of the Screw follows a young lady who is employed as a governess to look after two children, Miles and Flora. The plot takes place at an isolated estate, Bly Manor, where the new governess begins to see the ghosts of two of the estate's former employees, Peter Quint and Miss Jessel. Merrin Williams is dead, slaughtered under inexplicable circumstances, leaving her beloved boyfriend Ignatius Perrish as the only suspect. On the first anniversary of Merrin's murder, Ig spends the night drunk and doing awful things. When he wakes the next morning he has a thunderous hangover . . . and horns growing from his temples. Ig possesses a terrible new power to go with his terrible new look—a macabre gift he intends to use to find the monster who killed his lover. Being good and praying for the best got him nowhere. Now it's time for revenge . . . It's time the devil had his due. . . .
