About this movie

Jamaica, 1840s. In the untold tale of the madwoman in the attic of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, Antoinette Cosway (Karina Lombard) falls madly in love with her newly arrived groom-to-be, Edward Rochester (Nathaniel Parker) - and awakens sexually in a steamy world of erotic obsession, voodoo and madness. But when the untamed world of magic and sensuality lures Edward away from Antoinette, she resorts to powerful magic to win him back ... a magic that comes with a heavy price that will haunt the two for the rest of their lives.
