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.
A young, beautiful woman inherits some money and hits the road to find herself...and quench her passions.
Lecia McCauslan sought a tainted love that brands her an outcast. Although Lecia's husband desires her with ardor, he also lusts for Dora Jones, a wanton swamp girl... while his wife answers the irresistible call of the bayou, where she knows a dark stranger furtively watches her pagan sacrifices to passion...and yearns for her.
