The story begins with Olivia Winfield making a life-altering decision: she gives up her flourishing career, her beloved home, and even her name to marry the wealthy and enigmatic Malcolm Foxworth. Leaving her father behind, Olivia steps into her new role as Mrs. Malcolm Foxworth and enters the imposing Foxworth Hall, expecting a fairytale life. But as the episode unfolds, she soon realizes that her dreams of marital bliss are about to turn into a chilling nightmare.
Foxworth Hall, far from being a romantic haven, becomes a place of confinement, secrets, and escalating tension. The episode starts to unravel the mysteries that lie hidden within the Foxworth family, hinting at the dark events that will shape future generations. Starring Jemima Rooper as Olivia and Max Irons as Malcolm, along with T’Shan Williams and Kate Mulgrew, “Flowers in the Attic: The Origin” begins to expose the poisonous seeds of dysfunction that will eventually blossom into tragedy.
