The Amber Within

In 19th century England, Claridad's father passes on her 21st birthday and leaves his entire estate as her dowry. With the new will, Clara finds herself in an awkward position with her step-brother, George. Between spiritual hauntings, a pregnancy out of wedlock, and murder, George pulls through for Clara by marrying her and helping her escape to her homeland in Puerto Rico.
Despite fleeing, Clara's misfortunes pursue her as she loses her first child and the hauntings resurface. She slowly comes to learn that her husband, George, is not the man she once loved. For the sake of her newly born daughter, Clara gives in to the ghostly woman in yellow as she becomes closer to her Afro-Boriken roots. Through her ancestral spirits, Clara discovers the truth behind her tragedies and gains the strength to fight the true evil plaguing her.
