In this psychological mystery, Kate Byrne is having an affair with the father of Lucien, one of her young students. A peaceful rural setting belies the foreboding just below the surface of the local community.
A decade earlier, a young adulteress had been murdered, and this episode is related in "Murder at Black Swan Point", a book by the wife of Kate's lover.
As Kate becomes more obsessed by the crime which mirrors her own situation, even her lover's forays into the erotic do nothing to bring home the reality of her situation, and the effect it is having on her place in the small town society.
