A governess arrives at a remote estate to care for two seemingly angelic children, only to find herself haunted by spectral presences and her own escalating fears. The new governess is tasked with the upbringing of Miles and Flora at Bly, a country house where she is given strict instructions by their absent guardian to never contact him. As she becomes increasingly isolated and the children exhibit unsettling behaviors, she begins to perceive apparitions and suspects the children are being corrupted by malevolent forces.
