The Walworth family was the very symbol of virtue and distinction for decades, rising to prominence as part of the splendor of New Yorkβs aristocracy. When Frank Walworth travels to New York to βsettle a family difficultyβ 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 βsensational to the last degree.β
