An unnamed young woman marries the wealthy widower Maxim de Winter and moves into his mansion, Manderley, where the memory of his first wife, Rebeca, who drowned at sea, remains ever-present. The hostility of the sinister housekeeper, Mrs Danvers, and the secrets surrounding Rebeca will test the new marriage.
