Synopsis:

On his last night in London, Walter Hartright's life is changed forever after a chance encounter with a mysterious woman, dressed in white and in deep distress. Travelling north, Hartright takes up a post as a drawing master to Laura Fairlie, a beautiful woman bearing an astonishing resemblance to the woman in white. Soon Hartfield, Laura and her half-sister Marian, find themselves drawn into to the sinister intrigues of Sir Percival Glyde and his charming friend Count Fosco, a man with a taste for white mice and vanilla bonbons. Only by unravelling the mystery woman's dark secret can they escape from the web of deceit closing around them. Chilling, thrilling and filled with suspense and twists, this compelling BBC adaptation perfectly recreates the intrigue and drama of a story credited as the first and greatest 'Sensation Novel'.

Late one night, Walter Hartright meets a mysterious woman dressed in white who bestows a cryptic warning. Hartright takes up the post of drawing teacher to half sisters, Marian and Laura. He is startled to find that Laura bares a striking resemblance to the woman in white. Later, Laura's marriage to an aristocrat puts them all in the middle of a sinister plot.

In Victorian England, Laura and her half-sister Marian are entwined in a terrifying web of deceit. Laura's doppelganger, a mysterious woman dressed all in white, may hold the key to unlock the mystery.
