β¦ Synopsis
Het hele dorp beschouwt de Broadhursts als een fatsoenlijke mijnwerkersfamilie. Jinny Broadhurst weet wel beter. Alleen haar trots en kracht zorgen ervoor dat het gezin bijeen blijft en dat angst en haat binnenshuis blijven. Jack, haar jongste zoon, is getrouwd met een feeks die de familie terroriseert en Lottie, Jinnyβs lichtzinnige zuster, is niet helemaal normaal. Alleen haar zoon Larry brengt Jinny nog wat geluk, maar de arme jongen wordt verteerd door liefdesverdriet en ziet geen heil meer in het leven. Als blijkt dat vreemde, angstaanjagende voorvallen de Broadhursts dreigen te treffen is het Jinnyβs moedige optreden dat het gezin voor een catastrofe behoedt.
