Australia, 1902. When lawyer Nathan Smithson takes on the case of mad, wealthy Edward Fonceca's inheritance trial against his ruthless brother Charles, he must unearth long buried family secrets to have any chance of winning. Brazil, 1852. Carolina Fonceca is 16 years old and longing to leave the confines of her family's remote Brazilian sugar plantation. Francois, the Count de Castelnau and French Consul to Bahia has fallen dangerously ill with a fever on a naturalist expedition and been delivered by Tupi Indians to the Fonceca household. With a head full of Balzac and dreams of Parisian life, Carolina is instantly beguiled by the middle-aged Frenchman. But what Francois has failed to tell Carolina is that he has a wife and son back in France. Desperate for a new life, Caroline makes a decision which will haunt her forever.
