In this modernized version of Euripides’s Greek tragedy, “Medea” (McCrory) has given up everything and burned every bridge to be with “Jason” (Danny Sapani).

Medea rages against this turn of fate, and she is not about to take it lying down. But her options are slowly taken from her, and her desire for revenge starts to overshadow everything.

When we first meet “Eve” (Phoebe Fox), she is consoling a young girl in a shelter while bombs are exploding around them. It is 1941, in London, and the world is at war. Eve is a caretaker for a group of young orphans, who are soon evacuated from London to the abandoned British countryside in hopes to evade the violence and death. While the stern headmistress “Jean” (Helen McCrory) endeavors to keep the children on task and unemotional, Eve feels deeply for a young boy named “Edward” (Oaklee Pendergast) who lost his parents during the bombing. Yet, soon after they arrive at the creepy and desolate mansion, Eve begins to think that they are not alone, thanks to a mysterious figure, one that pays a whole of attention to Edward.
