This is the story of a man who was married to a very kind woman whom he didn't love. When his wife died unexpectedly, his concerns are centered around finding a caretaker for their infant daughter. One of the applicants for the position becomes increasingly obsessed with this man and the lifestyle that his wealthy wife provided. His mother-in-law's solution to the caretaking problem propels the obsession to a dangerous level.
