It's 1844 Jamaica. Annette (Rachel Ward) is trying save her rundown family plantation after the emancipation of the slaves. Christophene is the only slave who stayed loyal. Annette has daughter Antoinette and drunkard husband Daniel Cosway. She marries Englishman Paul Mason (Michael York) who threatens to bring in coolies to replace the workers. With old hatred, the former slaves burn the mansion down. Annette goes mad and Paul Mason goes back to England. Some years later, Mason arranges Antoinette (Karina Lombard) to marry Edward Rochester (Nathaniel Parker) and they take over his island property.
Karina Lombard is undoubtedly a beautiful woman. Her flat accent can either be exotic or put me to sleep. This time, she puts me to sleep. Nathaniel Parker isn't terribly charismatic either. This is a luscious overwrought melodramatic softcore porn movie. The harder it tries, the less compelling it is. It's boring and slower than molasses.
