Grace Marks has been convicted for her involvement in the vicious murders of her employer, the wealthy Thomas Kinnear, and of Nancy Montgomery, his housekeeper and mistress. Now serving a life sentence after a stint in Toronto's lunatic asylum. she claims to have no memory of the murders. Dr. Simon Jordan is engaged by a group of reformers and spiritualists who seek a pardon for Grace. As he brings Grace closer and closer to the day she cannot remember, he hears of the turbulent relationships in the Kinnear household and of the alarming behavior of Grace's fellow servant, James McDermott. What will he find in attempting to unlock her memories? Is Grace a female fiend, a bloodthirsty femme fatale? Or is she a victim of circumstances?
