In a world where social classes are sharply defined, “The Servant” dives deep into the intricate relationship between power and vulnerability through the eyes of Alice Morgan, a fiercely independent young woman. After her family’s fortunes dwindle, Alice takes a job as a live-in caretaker for the enigmatic and wealthy widow, Eleanor Hastings. Living in Eleanor’s opulent estate, Alice is drawn into an atmosphere that is both alluring and suffocating.

Eleanor, once revered in high society, is now shielded from the world by her grief and the weight of her past. Despite her wealth, Eleanor’s life is a labyrinth of isolation and secrets. As Alice begins to tend to Eleanor’s daily needs, she discovers that the widow harbors a wealth of hidden stories, sorrowful memories, and a talent for painting that has long been obscured by her solitude. Their relationship blossoms into a deep bond, yet Alice feels the pull of the outside world where her own aspirations beckon.

But as Alice becomes more entangled in Eleanor’s life, she uncovers a web of family rivalry and dark ambitions. Eleanor’s estranged son, Victor, a cunning and ruthless businessman, returns to reclaim his mother’s estate and everything within it, threatening their fragile sanctuary. With Victor’s arrival, the balance of power shifts; the house that felt like a refuge becomes a battleground.
