Writing in 1747, an old lawyer recalls how he was drawn into the history of Bridget Fitzgerald, a fierce, solitary woman who, in grief and rage, laid a curse on the squire who shot her dog. The curse falls in a way she never intended, and a gentle young woman finds herself shadowed by a terrible double that only penance may lift.
