A delightfully disturbing morality play that will give you a case of the goose-bumps. When a young woman’s husband is brutally murdered she thinks things can’t get any worse, only to find that her brother-in-law wants to take his place. As his only surviving sibling, he will become her Kinsman, providing her with financial support and the comfort that she craves. But beneath this display of altruistic concern, he harbors deeper passions, demanding that she share his bed, and so become his wife. Yet that same wife has her own secret. She is pregnant with her first husband’s child. And she decides that this child’s welfare must trump her mother’s hopes for freedom. Even when she learns that her so-called Kinsman was the one who killed her first husband—his own brother— she will play the loyal spouse, knowing the day will eventually come when the child must learn the truth.
