Flowers in the Attic is a 2014 Lifetime movie, starring Kiernan Shipka, Ellen Burstyn, Mason Dye, and Heather Graham. It is the second adaptation of the 1979 novel of the same name by V. C. Andrews. A sequel, Petals on the Wind, based on the novel of the same name, premiered on May 26, 2014, on Lifetime. The network announced the developing of the following books in the series, If There Be Thorns and Seeds of Yesterday, which both aired in 2015.
In the late 1950s, the Dollanganger family—14-year-old Chris, 12-year-old Cathy, 4-year-old twins Carrie and Cory and their parents Christopher and Corrine—live happily together in Pennsylvania. This changes on their father's birthday when Christopher dies in a car crash, leaving the family devastated and heavily in debt. Four months later, Corrine announces they are going to go live with her wealthy parents in Virginia. Corrine explains to the children, who were previously told they had no living relatives, that she is estranged from her parents and changed her last name to conceal her true identity, which is Foxworth.
Corrine's grim and cold-hearted mother, Olivia, takes the children to a small room in the attic of Foxworth Hall. The next day, the children are given a list of rules and Olivia tells them to remain in the attic. Corrine explains that her father, Malcolm, had disowned her for eloping with Christopher, who was actually her half-uncle (her father's younger half-brother) and they were disinherited. Corrine promises the children she will convince her father to forgive her, introduce them to him, and they will all live wealthy, happy lives.
Corrine's visits to the attic become less frequent as she begins to enjoy her new-found wealthy life and starts a relationship with her father's attorney, Bart Winslow. Corrine informs them that while her father has forgiven her, she can't let them meet him because she claimed that she didn't have any children; thus, they will have to remain in the attic until he dies.
