At a country estate in Essex, Flora and Miles receive a new governess.

Shortly after the new governess begins her duties, she notices ghostly figures around the estate.

She believes she has figured out who the ghosts are and suspects that the children are also knowledgeable about these apparitions.

In the end, her suspicions were correct, but she is unable to save Miles from the ghost who seeks him.

This play in two acts is the stage adaptation of Henry James' novella The Turn of the Screw.
