Based on actual events, it is the story of Nancy Randolf after her 1793 acquittal for murder and incest. But the question remains: was she guilty of being just too naive and indiscreet in love, or was she actually that cunning and manipulative?
The opera tells the story of her leaving her family in disgrace to search for a new life and of her running battle with a past that never seems to be too far behind.
