A dark psychological thriller that uses the investigation of a disturbed teenager to probe questions of identity, culpability, and the reliability of perception in an isolated, morally rigid community.

Despite the villagers' hostility to her inquiry, she soon comes to suspect that Dorothy suffers from multiple personality disorder...
