When relatives gather at an isolated manor for the reading of a will, a woman gets possessed by the restless spirit of a forgotten tragic romance.

Frances Austen (Sandy Dennis) is a wealthy and frustrated spinster who invites a homeless boy whom she has met in the park into her apartment, and then offers him living quarters. As she becomes completely obsessed with him, and he rejects her amorous advances, she begins to make him a prisoner. An American counterpart to the British classic 'The Collector.'
