Angelique Clairvoux lives in St. Martinsville, Louisiana, free of the slavery in other parts of the south. Living together with her grandmother, she practices voodoo and makes her living telling fortunes and selling charms and remedies.
When the slave catchers arrive, Angelique is captured and assaulted, but manages to escape to the wilds of the bayou with her meager belongings, only to be never heard from again. Soon after, several men in the area enter the bayou in search of Angelique's treasure... unaware of the danger for those who hold evil in their hearts against women.
Years later, Raquel Clairvoux - distant relative of Angelique - begins to research Angelique's incident. But can she unravel the Legend Of The Swamp Witch?
