A 21-year-old girl born in a wealthy former planter family is raised by her Creole nanny in the deep south of the USA.
In her family women are expected to permanently wear restrictive, body correcting shoulder braces, strapping back her shoulders to obtain a slim Victorian silhouette and a stiff headpiece to keep an upright posture.
In contrast to that, she is a young girl in the 21st century, respecting her families traditions and expectations but she finds a way to live her own life and create her own reality.
Since her nanny mainly raised her, she adapted part of south Louisiana culture and superstitions, and therefore a strong believe in root work and conjures, wich she uses to her manipulate her own life the way her braces manipulate her body…
