The Walworth family was the very symbol of virtue and
distinction for decades, rising to prominence as part of the
splendor of New York’s aristocracy. When Frank Walworth
travels to New York to “settle a family difficulty” by
shooting his father at point blank range, his family must
reveal their inner demons in a spectacular trial to save him
from execution. The resulting testimony exposes a legacy of
mania and abuse, and the stately reputation of the family
crumbles in a Gothic drama which the New York Tribune called
“sensational to the last degree.”
