17-year-old Catherine Morland, reader of classic gothic novels and romance heroine wannabe, is given the opportunity of a lifetime when her rich neighbors invite her to travel with them to Bath. There, Catherine dances with a charming young man, befriends a bewitching young woman, and soon secures an invitation to a mysterious and enchanting (or so Catherine fancies it must be!) abbey, owned by the family of that charming young man.

Once at the abbey, Catherine encounters a mysterious chest, a strange story of a deceased wife, and a stoic and capricious master. But are these indeed signs that Catherine has stepped into her own gothic novel? Or are there other explanations for such oddities—explanations that, if confronted, could lead Catherine's life in another direction entirely?
