the great ancestral home of the Van Vliet family - where dangerous dreams and illicit liaisons beguile each new generation in turn

the compelling love story of a sensitive passionate young girl, and of the two Van Vliet brothers whose fierce desire for the same woman almost destroys them all

three generations unable to escape the shadow of the past; of a turbulent era when the coming of the railroad, the oil boom and the glamour of early Hollywood revolutionized California and the destinies of the men and women who lived there
