The Ties That Bind

87 min

A divorce petition in the English countryside looks straightforward at first: a wealthy landowner wants to separate from his much younger wife. But the case quickly turns murky, with accusations, hidden motives, and signs that the marriage is tied to something far more dangerous than infidelity. Called in to investigate, Mr. Whicher follows the dispute beyond the courtroom and into the private lives of a powerful household, where servants, family loyalties, and local silence keep the truth buried. As he presses deeper, the inquiry uncovers secrets that threaten reputations and lives, and the domestic scandal opens into a darker mystery with lasting damage.
