Near the turn of the 20th century, following the death of her husband on the eve of their marriage, Christine de Chagny is committed to a mental institution after being accused of causing his death.
Witnesses to the incident are decidedly against Christine whose lonely days at the asylum are veiled in mystery by a voice that claims to be bound to the hospital. Her sessions with the head doctor are equally mystifying, and though she knows he means her well, she cannot help but sense something amiss in his demeanor.
Though Christine begins to question her own sanity and lose faith in the innocence she once asserted, her longing for something beyond spectral voices in the dark intensifies, starting her on a path of recovery and hope.
