A Southern Gothic psychological thriller about power, desire, and manipulation set within an isolated girls' school during the Civil War, where seduction becomes entrapment.

Offbeat Civil War drama in which a wounded Yankee soldier, after finding refuge in an isolated girls' school in the South towards the end of the war, becomes the object of the young women's sexual fantasies. The soldier manipulates the situation for his own gratification, but when he refuses to completely comply with the girls' wishes, they make it very difficult for him to leave.
