Synopsis
On the coast of New England the Vandeleur family are living in the cramped surroundings of the cottage once used to house slaves. They are descended from a noted eighteenth century slave trader but now shorts of funds are waiting for a large inheritance that they believe will change their fortunes. They retain a stand-offish attitude with the local villagers.
