Following her father's murder, a London Jew, Rosina da Silva, reinvents herself as a Protestant governess on a remote Scottish island. Schooling the Cavendish family's daughter, Clementina, she soon incites the amorous passions of patriarch Charles, a scientist obsessed with capturing the photographic image. When his rebellious son Henry arrives home, complications arise, emotions entangle and secrets inevitably spill out.
