The scene is a small southern town where Colonel and Christine Penmark live with their daughter, Rhoda. Little Rhoda Penmark is sweet, charming, full of old-fashioned graces, loved by her parents, admired by all her elders. But Rhoda’s mother has an uneasy feeling about her. Could she have had anything to do with the death of a classmate? How did the medal the dead boy won end up in Rhoda's belongings?
