March 31, 2000: In 1856 English aristocrat Lady Madeline Cavendish sails on the SS Starlight bound for New Orleans where her fianc? expatriate Lord Donald Chilton lives. Armand de Chevalier, an upper crust Creole, sees and wants Madeline, but she rejects his advances. Madeline feels Armand is a copy of her late womanizing drunk of a spouse. When a hurricane threatens to sink the ship, Armand and Madeline have no way to escape to safety. Instead, she decides to make love with the scoundrel. A steamer rescues her while he is left to nobly die.

Feeling a bit guilty, Madeline is stunned when Armand shows up at a party and keeps arriving at the same spots Madeline attends.
