In an old New England mansion, 12-year-old orphan Florence is neglected by her guardian uncle. By night, she sleepwalks the corridors like one of the old house's many ghosts & is troubled by a recurrent dream in which a mysterious woman threatens her younger brother. When a new teacher arrives, strange phenomena begin to occur.

In a remote and crumbling New England mansion, 12-year-old orphan Florence is neglected by her guardian uncle and banned from reading. Left to her own devices she devours books in secret and talks to herself - and narrates this, her story - in a unique language of her own invention. By night, she sleepwalks the corridors like one of the old house's many ghosts and is troubled by a recurrent dream in which a mysterious woman appears to threaten her younger brother Giles.
