β¦ Synopsis
In the early 1600s, Elizabeth BΓ‘thory, the infamous Blood Countess, ruled Δachtice Castle in the hinterlands of Slovakia. She tortured and killed the young women she had taken on as servants, and bathed in their blood to preserve her own youth. 400 years later, echoes of the Countess's legendary brutality reach Aspen, Colorado. Betsy Path, a psychoanalyst of uncommon intuition, has a breakthrough with sullen teenager Daisy Hart. Together, they are haunted by the past, as they struggle to understand its imprint upon the present. Betsy and her troubled but perceptive patient learn the truth: the curse of the House of Bathory lives still and has the power to do evil even now.
