The story

The film opens with two twin girls—one sitting in a rocking chair, rocked by the other. The girl rocking the chair stops momentarily and bashes the face of the girl in the rocking chair until she bleeds into unconsciousness. Julia Sullivan is a young schoolteacher for deaf children living in Savannah.
