STORY:

Matt Wade ("Strictly Ballroom"s Paul Mercurio), a bright and young New York City investment banker is sent by his boss (Academy Award nominee Frederic Forrest) to Louisiana during the height of Mardi Gras in order to land a $500 million dollar account of eccentric Cajun billionaire Francois Dubois (played by Academy Award winner Malcolm McDowell), an arrogant man paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. But when he arrives at the Dubois Estate, Matt gets involved with Emily Dubois (Clara Bellar) and (possibly) a satanic cult. The carnality of Mardi Gras is all consuming as Matt discovers a world of sin, pleasure and deceit. The events in and around New Orleans change him forever and give a new slant on the American Dream.
