Winifred's responsibilities include teaching the children table manners and educating them about their family history -- all whilst hiding her own psychopathic tendencies.

Victorian Psycho invites us into the mind of a psychopath -- ttrapped in a world she cannot control, living on the border between insurrection and madness.
