Inside the Borden household in Massachusetts, money and respectability provide little space for Lizzie to live freely. Her father’s authority shapes the rhythms of the house, and the arrival of Bridget Sullivan, a young woman employed as a maid, introduces someone whose vulnerability takes a different form. Their growing intimacy offers companionship in an environment built around surveillance and obedience. As pressures within the family intensify, private desires and public expectations become increasingly difficult to keep apart. Craig William Macneill’s psychological thriller approaches the infamous Borden case through a fictionalised relationship between two women, exploring the household’s unequal power without treating its interpretation of historical events as a settled account of what actually happened.
