Investigative reporter Nora comes to Marlowe Manor in search of her missing sister Maya, but loses her memory when she is hit by a car on a rainy night. When she wakes, a strange man, Adrian, tells her: 'You are Clara, my wife.' She is brought back to the manor and becomes the amnesiac bride of a perfect husband. A kind mother-in-law, locked rooms, extra tableware, and a photo of a woman identical to herself — the manor is filled with traces of 'the previous bride.' Nora gradually discovers that her sister Maya once married into this family to investigate its secrets, and was silenced and buried in a well by the mother-in-law; and that she herself is the investigator who was run over by her husband and forcibly remade into 'Clara.' The mother-in-law erases her again and again with drugs, electric shocks, and the lie that 'you are insane,' while the husband is both an accomplice and the man who deliberately veered off course to save her back then. Nora recovers her memory, digs up the ledgers, recordings, and thirty years of brides' bones, and lays everything bare at the family dinner party, toppling the entire Marlowe dynasty.
