Born in India, the unattractive and willful Mary Lennox has remained in the care of servants for as long as she can remember, her life changes when her mother and father die. She comes to live at her uncle's great house on the Yorkshire Moors, a dark and dreary manor--full of secrets. It has nearly one hundred rooms, and her uncle keeps himself locked up. And at night, she hears the sound of crying down one of the long corridors.
With the help of Dickon, a local boy, Mary intends to uncover its secret. Their lives begin to change when a Robin shows Mary the door to a mysterious secret garden that was locked tight for 10 years.
