From the moment Jay finds the shockingly erotic photograph, concealed in the attic wall, he becomes obsessed with the image of the woman in it. She is a seductive femme fatale named Emma, who lived in his secluded island home over a hundred years ago. When he discovers her diary some time later, with it's steamy account of her sexual adventures, it leads him into an intensely exciting world of fantasy and taboo.
With the help of a pretty prostitute from an escort agency, Jay re-enacts the forbidden pleasures described by Emma, with explosive results. Then he meets Emma's great, great granddaughter, a young woman who bears a striking resemblance to the seductress who has so completely captured his soul. As the erotically haunted couple explore their white-hot sexuality together, they enter into a wildly sensuous world that spins dangerously between the past and present.
