As the only daughter of the Lammermoor clan, the fragile Lucia is expected to marry tactically into a local family against her own wishes, and that of her secret lover Edgardo, a member of the Ravenswood family, the sworn enemies of the Lammermoors. When Edgardo is despatched to France on business, Lucia's brother forces her to wed, an action that leads the desolate and isolated young woman to strike out in bloody revenge.
