BENNET GILLESPIE, a successful, yet burned out half Native American medical professional, crashes into a recuperating "innocent" beauty on the beach, beginning an obsessive, sexual triangle with the seductive African American, DAY, who's jealously guarded by HOPKINS, her overbearing, elderly British stepfather, and lover. Benn's a master manipulator, but he could, in fact, literally lose his heart, his life, and his soul to the "knife-happy" legally insane Day, who's desperate to be free of the man, who may have crippled her, and of the prison mental ward lockdown to which she will be returned, when the old man dies.
