The narrator of this social satire-cum-thriller, another Michael Owen, is writing a biography of the rich and powerful Winshaw family. Commissioned and egged on by the Winshaws' mad Aunt Tabitha, he uncovers a trail of ruthless back-stabbing and deceit extending from WW II to the late 80s. Ensuing events strangely resemble a film that has haunted Michael since his childhood and is echoed in a dramatic denouement in the Winshaws' sinister mansion.
