‘Lure them in, feed them sin,
And break them as it suits your whim.’

When a Sixteenth Century Breton Bishop lays his hands on his illegitimate daughter he unleashes a tide of revenge and retribution that can never be sated, a relentless domino effect, which rushes forward through history, infecting all who come after, tainting every heart and cutting innocence off at its knees.

Peep through the keyhole as two actors gallop through four centuries, ten characters and a whole lot of dirty bath water. In a world where Mummy knows best and Daddy should know better, five couples fight with destiny and stoke the flames of lust, deprivation and all that is taboo.

Revenge is sweet, but never simple.
