When Melbourne lawyer Nathan Smithson takes on the case of mad, wealthy Edward
Fonçeca's inheritance trial against his ruthless brother in 1902, he must
unearth long-buried family secrets to have any chance of winning. Brazil, 1852:
François, the Count de Castelnau and French Consul to Bahia falls dangerously
ill on a naturalist expedition and is delivered by a rainforest tribesman to the
Fonçeca household. Carolina Fonçeca is 16 years old and longing to leave the
confines of her family's remote Brazilian sugar plantation. With a head full of
Balzac and dreams of Parisian life, she is instantly beguiled by the middle-aged
Frenchman. What Carolina doesn't know is that François has a wife and son back
in France. Desperate for a new life, she makes a decision that will haunt her
forever.
