Living in Kentucky prior to the Civil War, Amantha Starr is a privileged young woman. Her widower father, a wealthy plantation owner, dotes on her and he sends her to the best schools. When he dies suddenly however, Amantha's world is turned upside down. She learns that her father had been living on borrowed money and that her mother was actually a slave and her father's mistress. The plantation is to be sold to pay off her father's debts and as the daughter of slave, Amatha is also to be sold as property. She is bought by a Louisiana plantation owner, Hamish Bond and over time she grows to love him until she learns he was a slave-trader. She tries again to become part of white society but realizes that her future lies elsewhere.

Movie Parental Guide

nudity	Several of the women have some cleavage showing. The two main characters kiss passionately. (They are not married). A threat of rape. (Nothing is shown and it does not happen.)
profanity	Several uses of the "D" word. Also, as it is a movie about the days of slavery, the "N" word is used several times to describe blacks slaves.
alcohol	Use of alcohol throughout. Two different scenes have men in a drunken state.
frightening	Since this film takes place in 1850's Kentucky, slavery is a major matter in the plot. Slavery auctions, slavery around the plantations and the general demeaning attitude of the day is often evident. Terms such as "buck", "buck batter", "hot natured blacks","plantation negroes" etc. are used with regularity. A conversation with younger and less knowledgeable viewers would be helpful before the film to make them aware of the subject matter as certain scenes can be emotional and somewhat violent.
