On the sun drenched island of Haiti in the '70s, foreigners idle away their vacations in the palm-fringed paradise of the beach resorts. Brenda (Karen Young), Ellen (Charlotte Rampling) and Sue (Lousie Portal), three North American women, meet on the island looking for flirtation, relaxation and respite from their colorless jobs and marriages. They find what they are looking for in Legba (Menothy Cesar), an enigmatic local Adonis whose beauty and passion has them enthralled. Their shared passion for this young gigolo leads them away from the gilded cage of tourism and opens their eyes to the poverty-stricken and dangerous reality of Haiti under dictator Baby Doc Duvalier.
