Violet wants Catharine lobotomized in an attempt to suppress Catherine’s knowledge of the homosexual tendencies of Violet’s late son, Sebastian, along with the details of his horrible, shocking death while on vacation with Catharine in Spain. Catharine’s mother and brother also want her revelations to be suppressed, as their shares in the family fortune are put at risk.
