“Half angel, half siren, all woman.”

DramaRomance

In 1850s Louisiana, the willfulness of a tempestuous Southern belle threatens to destroy all who care for her.

A tempestuous Southern belle's pride and vanity lead her down a path of self-destruction. This classic drama feels like a slow, inevitable descent into tragedy, steeped in the atmosphere of the antebellum South.
