Set at the beginning of the 20th century, House by the River plays like a kind of gothic murder romance. A struggling, but snide and hard-drinking writer Stephen Byrne tries to seduce his pretty new maid and accidentally strangles her. He convinces his decent and physically disabled brother John to help him get rid of the corpse. Unfortunately, the body comes back up and floats by the house days later.
Byrne, who uses the woman's disappearance and killing for publicity for his books, realizes that his brother is the one who is going to be accused of the crime. Meanwhile, he begins writing a book about the crime in another attempt to cash in on the scandal. His wife and brother begin to fall in love, despite the fact that he has become the prime suspect.
