Synopsis: 
Jan is born into the wealthy Visanan family in Bangkok in the 30s; his mother dies in childbirth. His father, an officious civil servant who likes to be called Khun Luang ('Master'), hates the boy so much that Jan comes to question his real parentage. Khun Luang exercises droit de seigneur with every woman in the household, from Jan's nanny to the kitchen maid, and Jan's rebellion against him is partly a matter of moral disgust. But when fate - and one particular unwanted pregnancy - overturns the balance of power in the household, Jan risks becoming the mirror image of the man he most despises...

"真"一出生，他的母親"Dara"便與世長辭。有人說，他的一生從此受到詛咒。由這時候開始，"Dara"的丈夫老爺非常憎恨這個嬰孩，因此把他叫作"真"(亦即泰語被詛咒的意思）。正因如此，老爺一直視他為敵，不停虐待他、打他，更因他抖膽哀悼其母而把他鎖進「鬼房間」內。
不過，老爺對"真"的仇恨，跟他在「Visanan莊園」內的荒淫無度卻毫無關係。"真"最早的童年回憶，是目睹老爺在他亡妻的肖像前跟女佣打得火熱。事實上，老爺是個無法控制情慾的人，也不顧得家中有誰知道。當"Dara"的好友華姨由Pijit來充當孩子的代母時，老爺急不及待又把她納入其戰利品之列。不久，華姨替老爺誕下女兒"喬"。老爺很寵愛她，並教她跟他同樣地憎恨"真"。換言之，"真"在極惡劣的環境下成長，亡母的慈容與嚴父的肆虐，使他對是非黑白混淆不清。
