Summary
In a narrative woven from the dark fibers of Southern Gothic tradition, Carma Carmichael finds her tranquil domesticity with her uncle Quincy violently disrupted by the sudden appearance of her long-absent father, Roger. This homecoming, however, is a facade for a more sinister predation. Abducted and transported to the decaying grandeur of her ancestral plantation, Carma becomes a prisoner of a man whose paternal claims are but a thin veil for his true identity as a murderous usurper. As Uncle Quincy orchestrates a strategic disappearance to manipulate the villains into a false sense of security, the young and intrepid Jack Carrington is dispatched into the lion's den. What follows is a tense psychological game of cat and mouse, where the boundaries between family and foe blur. Carma’s initial skepticism of Jack gives way to a harrowing realization: the man she calls father is the very monster who extinguished her father’s life. The resolution arrives not through simple heroism, but through the volatile orchestration of an internal uprising among the usurper’s own henchmen, culminating in a violent reclamation of both property and personhood.

Uncle Quincy sends young Jack Carrington to investigate and goes into hiding, leading the Carmichaels to believe he is dead.

Despite "Roger's" attempts to take Jack's life, the young man incites the thugs against him and they attack the house. Uncle Quincy arrives with a posse, and after their rescue, Carma and Jack embrace.
