One night, the ghost of Major Herbert Armstrong (Edward Woodward) visits her and gives advice on murder, for which he is an expert because he killed his own wife years ago. Jodie listens, grabs an axe, kills her mother, and gets sister Beth (Imelda Staunton) to help hide the body. Now, problems ensue between Jodie and Beth. After another visit—this time from known murderer Dr. Crippen (Hywel Bennett)—Jodie again picks up the axe and kills Beth. Where and when will it all end?
