The Tight Rein

Two wealthy mill owners wishing to consolidate their riches plot the arranged marriage of their children despite that pair’s indifference to each other and the son’s love for another woman. To bend them to their will, the fathers take too nefarious and cruel means to achieve their goals and bring tragedy down on them all.
