      Synopsis

      Civil War-era Memphis percolates with illicit entanglements and scandal as pillars of wealth and privilege routinely cover up scintillating indiscretions. Buck Harris is a victim of unthinkable deceit, but swears he will marry his childhood sweetheart, Josephine Parker, and kill Leslie Turnbull, his spiteful half brother. Buck's mission of love and revenge is righteous, but in the process, he frees ugly family skeletons from secret hiding places and turns Memphis' grand society upside down. When that happens, anyone is fair game, and his enemies are hunting for places to hide.
