The film is a modern adaptation of Henry James's classic gothic novella, "The Turn of the Screw." Anna is hired to care for the children, Miles and Flora, but soon begins to suspect that the house is haunted by the ghosts of the previous governess and her lover. As Anna's grip on reality becomes increasingly fragile, she questions whether the supernatural occurrences are real or a manifestation of her own psychological trauma.

The movie explores themes of childhood abuse and a deteriorating mental state, with Sobieski's character, Anna, grappling with her own past as she tries to protect the children. The film's ambiguity leaves the audience to decide if the ghosts are real or a product of Anna's troubled mind.
