WHITE WITCH

A dark supernatural thriller
ANGELHEART MEETS SIXTH SENSE

RICHARD, a guilt-ridden young English man travels to Jamaica hoping to escape his past by working on a sugar plantation to help his Uncle. However, the plantation is owned by a beautiful ‘obeah’ woman called ANNIE PALMER. Although Richard quickly falls under her spell, he’s alarmed by the strange things that happen there. When RHEA, the educated daughter of KOTO, a powerful African obeah leader is bewitched to death, the salves rebel against Annie. Richard is now faced with an agonizing decision: does he join the slave rebellion, which he believes is just and leave Annie helpless, or defend the woman he has come to love in spite of everything?
All the superstitious sensuality of a Caribbean island is seen in this dynamic story of witchcraft, sex and a slave rebellion.

( Based on a true story. Annie Palmer ran a sugar plantation in Jamaica in 1880s. Her house Rosehall has now been restored by an American millionaire.)
