Description

Mardee Haskell, a beautiful black actress early career, he knows nothing about Haiti, though that is the country of his mother. About to face another winter in New York, without work and facing a divorce, welcomes an invitation from his great-aunt to visit Haiti. It is with real astonishment that perceives to be the descendant of a rich woman, whose property serves as a backdrop to the filming of an exciting epic. In the romantic setting of the island, a willful Mardee native lion, becomes involved with three very different men: Sebastian Wright, the filmmaker and passionate Scorpio, the handsome actor Kip Tybalt, a native of twins who seem to embody the whole mystery and Haiti's own ambivalence and Brian Dawes, a beautiful journalist and pragmatic, native rock, which seems to be the only anchor that secures it to reality. But the tropical splendor in suspense becomes deadly when a sinister voodoo ritual corners Mardee a frenzy of supernatural horror from which escape might not ever.
