Synopsis
Contemporary gothic drama about a young woman (Linda Purl) hired to write the family history of a shipbuilding dynasty and finding supernatural forces at work when she moves into the clan's compound on a lonely, windswept bluff near Seattle. Initially, Loretta Young had been coaxed out of retirement by executive producer and friend Aaron Spelling to play the family matriarch, but changed her mind after seeing the script and allowed the role to go to Joan Fontaine in this pilot to a prospective series.
