It's the early 1950s. Plantation owner Colonel Bertram Fendelson finds himself having to raise Larry, his dead brother's grandson, after the boy's parents die far too young. The Colonel hires Eleanor, a local waitress who is college-educated and the target of the morally-righteous women in town, to tutor his nephew. But Eleanor is no Mary Poppins, and her presence is like touching a flame to gasoline, igniting a household that's already raging with resentment, greed and barely-controlled lust.
