Murder, love, ambition - all can be found in The Wife Upstairs, a modern reimagining of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre. Set in Birmingham, Alabama, this Southern Gothic mystery introduces us to Jane, a down-on-her-luck dog walker who knows that her gated-community clientele won't notice if she swipes a few pieces of their jewelry or other valuables. They also won't ask if Jane is her real name.
Jane's luck may be about to change when she meets and falls for the wealthy and mysterious widower, Eddie Rochester. However, Jane's curiosity about Eddie's dead wife leads to even more questions and Jane finds that all may not be as it seems.
