Death of the Heart

In 1930s London, orphaned Portia finds herself adrift in her sophisticated half-brother's elegant but emotionally barren household. She becomes infatuated with the charming Eddie, a man who sees her as an inconveniently intense adolescent. Their fragile connection unravels when a casual betrayal exposes the callousness beneath polite society's veneer, forcing Portia to confront a world far more treacherous than she imagined.
