18-year-old Louise is stuck in a girls' boarding school with only her love for American art teacher Matthew to keep her sane. Nut as the holidays approach, Louise is unable to cope with the thought of being separated from Matthew and persuades his wife, the school's headmistress, Veronica Van Huet, to let her stay at school to do extra studies. But when Veronica finds out what's going on, she murders Matthew and turns her attentions to Louise. But if Matthew is dead, why does Louise see him outside her bedroom window, trying to warn her of something?
