The ancient castle of Gormenghast has housed the dynasty of the Groan family for many generations. After so long, the Groans are ripe for destruction, and their kitchen boy Steerpike (Jonathan Rhys-Meyer) just may be the instrument to implement an end. The young heir, Titus Groan, is too naive and inexperienced to successfully prevent the turnover. Will the Groans of Gormenghast defeat the determinedly power-hungry Steerpike?
