""A beautiful young girl raised by her philandering father and resentful stepmother following the death of her real mother must fight for her life when her stepmother turns against her in director David Wheatley's adaptation of author Catherine Cookson's popular novel.

When a family tragedy affords Ann the opportunity to embrace her bitterness and seek vengeance against her young charge, Hannah is forced to use every resource available to her to maintain her dignity, her freedom, and the love of her life"--Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide."
