Description "Set during the Haitian slave revolt of 1804. Three nuns are holed up in an abandoned warehouse. The nuns are ducking out of a dangerous revolt to await a wealthy noblewoman whom they have agreed to help escape for a price. As fear and tension mount in their feeble hideout, the nuns' situation grows increasingly desperate and their behavior more shocking, vulgar, unbecoming of the sisterhood."
