Innocent, until betrayed.

During the Civil War, at a Southern girls’ boarding school, young women take in an injured enemy soldier. As they provide refuge and tend to his wounds, the house is taken over with sexual tension and dangerous rivalries, and taboos are broken in an unexpected turn of events.

VIBE

A visually sumptuous, slow-burn psychological drama that simmers with erotic tension and dangerous rivalries. It's a claustrophobic exploration of desire and manipulation, set against a backdrop of Southern elegance, where unsettling undercurrents slowly unravel societal taboos.
