Based on Jean Rhys' best-seller–a book intended as a prequel to Emily Bronte's "Jane Eyre"–the story, set in 1840s' Jamaica, starts with plantation owner Annette (Rachel Ward) marrying rich, mean-spirited, sexist Paul (Michael York) in order to save her land. After their mansion burns down, Paul leaves, Annette goes insane, and daughter Antoinette (Karina Lombard) is placed in a convent. Antoinette eventually marries a "proper" Englishman, Edward (Nathaniel Parker), in order to inherit the family land. But Antoinette's secrets and Edward's elitism and fear of black magic, which is prevalent in the area, brings more tragedy to the family.
